Would you like the people around you to show you more respect? Then you should start caring less about yourself and think more about others. This, of course, is easier said than done. That's why we are offering some useful tips on how your behavior can earn you respect. This time, our source of inspiration is lifehack.org.
Start by not waiting for others tell you what to do. Learn to think independently and solve things yourself. At the same time, be careful not to promise something you cannot do. Keeping promises and commitments are an essential prerequisite of respect which is, unfortunately, often ignored. What other things you should remember?
Do not say "I am sorry" hundred times per hour
A person who constantly apologizes will not earn respect. If you make a mistake, apologize. However, do not repeatedly apologize for every little thing that usually happens at work.
Do not waste others' time
Be on time for your appointments. Do not waste meeting time talking about unnecessary concerns. If you want to talk about something, get straight to the point. Beware especially of wasting the time of people who are even busier than yourself.
Be open, but not too nice
Neither can you know everything nor be the best at everything. You can, however, be open-minded and learn from others. At the same time, be careful not to let others take an advantage of yourself. Being nice and doing things for others are two different things. Learn to say no.
Create values
Values take on a variety of forms. Basically, the goal is to help your team, company or people closely involved in solving a problem.
Believe in yourself
If others are to respect you, you must first respect yourself. Everyone has good and bad days do not let the bad days affect your work. Have faith in your ideas. Remind yourself of your strengths and learn from mistakes.
Do not tolerate unfair treatment of others or yourself
Speaking up is not easy. That is why it deserves respect. Be professional and diplomatic, but not silent. Do not avoid confrontation at all costs.
Express your views
Say what you think. Come up with ideas for improvement. Show that you care about what is happening around you. However, be careful not to talk all the time. You must also be able to listen to the views of others.
