One piece of advice that always stuck in my mind is that people should be respected and trusted as people, not because of their position or title.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In order to be respected, authority has got to be respectable.
My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.
At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It's really your essence and your values that are important.
Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.
I've always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.
If you have some respect for people as they are, you can be more effective in helping them to become better than they are.
In real life, the most practical advice for leaders is not to treat pawns like pawns, nor princes like princes, but all persons like persons.
Respect and mutual respect are important. I, for instance, often show my latest work so that people can see how I work.
You can be a leader in your workplace, your neighborhood, or your family, all without having a title.
Authority must be respected and chosen wisely.
