Donโt you love to be respected for who you are, rather than what you have?
I assume you've experienced unequal treatment before, based on what ๐๐๐ known or ๐๐๐ known about you.
In some workplaces as well as in social media interactionsโฆ

That is unfortunate.
When people interact this way, the true losers arenโt those who go unseen and unheard, but those who choose to ignore them.

Partners who respect each other will be more committed.
Employees who are respected will contribute more.

This is a winning strategy and a growth opportunity for leaders.
What do you think? Have you ever caught yourself holding back respect until someone โearnedโ it?
