b"SUCCESS THANKS TO THOSE AROUND YOU 10.Show respect: even to people who don't deserve it, not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours. True leadership has always been built on a strong character. It's not just a role you play, it's a life you lead, whether you're at home or at work.Questionablepersonalityandbehaviorcandestroyareputationin seconds. This is why leaders of good character encourage employees to think and act in ways that contribute to the well-being of their organization and society.It is not about an image which one draws up for the public. It's about being your true, authentic self while living your life as an example for people to follow.Treat people, the way you would like to be treated. Speak to people, the way you would like to be spoken to. Respect is earned, not given.Too many people think that having a position of authority is a right given to them by God. They feel superior to those they employ or to the so-called lower levels of the organization.Surely you have already seen a certain level of arrogance and entitlement frompeopleinleadershippositionswhoseektobringpeopledown instead of uplifting them.Leaders treat everyone with dignity and respect. They don't bore you with disparaging comments or place you in an embarrassing or demeaning position in front of others, be they co-workers or clients. Instead, they show sincere concern for others.The way you treat people, says a lot about you, and always remember that respect is something you deserve, it is never given, no matter what your title.11.Generate enthusiasm: the way you make others feel it says a lot about you. How you treat people, says a lot about you and your leadership will be judged on how you inspire, influence, and motivate your associates and employees.Exceptional leaders are those who stand up for their people and support themthroughthetoughesttimes.Theyalsoencourageandchallenge their people to take on bigger challenges.Germain Decelles349"
