Respect is positive social attention.
 
Respect is fundamental for successful human interaction. All of our work proceeds more effectively and successfully when we work with respect. Offering Respect requires a conscious decision and deliberate action. It is expressed both overtly and tacitly. It is not words, but behaviors that show true respect. Showing respect is the only way to ever make respect mutual.

Organizations and Respect

When organizations emphasize listening and trust, they demonstrate respect. By showing a willingness to pay real attention to the concerns of people, they can reject the dividing mindset.

Organizations can build programs that truly collaborate. By bringing people together in meaningful ways, based on an understanding of the true (not assumed) Connectors, an organization can help people to build on their own desires for a normal life.

When an organization shows that they can operate effectively without a dividing mindset, they encourage others to move to a connecting mindset as well.
