All leaders want results, but few are willing to consistently do the hard work that produces those results within a healthy and sustainable culture of accountability built on a solid foundation of trust. Since people are the engines that drive businesses and organizations, creating an atmosphere where individuals and teams thrive must be a primary focus of those vested in organizational success. Respect for others fuels healthy organizations; more than leadership, real success demands Respectership.
The challenge of Respectership is that it starts and ends with people, so it’s impossible to perfect. Realizing others can’t follow where they’re not led, the Respecter is willing to accept the discomfort of honest self-assessment as they candidly examine their own motives, methods and metrics. From that place of authenticity, individuals and teams are invited into the collaborative dynamic of Respectership, producing satisfying and rewarding successes for all involved.
