The definition of respect is the acknowledgement that someone or something has value. Here are seven arenas worthy of your respect.
1. Respect for people. Maintain and cultivate civility and courtesy at work to ensure the positive relations that improve productivity and teamwork. Avoid bullying, hurtful words, shouting, and/or cursing. If you have a problem, talk with the person, not about them.

2. Respect for people’s time. Be on time for meetings and make deadlines. Should you know you will be late, let the concerned party know ahead of time so he or she can adjust accordingly.

3. Respect for property. Disrespect is not just committed against humans but against their property as well. Don’t do anything to company property that we wouldn’t do to your own home.

4. Respect for peoples’ opinions. Diversity makes life rich, challenging and unexpected. Place a value on uniqueness. Don’t just criticize. Come up with suggestion.

5. Respect for privacy. Sifting through a colleague’s files, opening another’s drawer, and/or peeping into somebody’s pay slip without their knowledge are violations of this right.

6. Respect for the environment. Adopt environment-friendly policies and work to operate without damaging your natural surroundings or creating waste. Reuse and recycle are good watch words to live by.

and most importantly….

7. Respect yourself. Hold on to your values and ethics. Stand by your convictions and lead a life that makes you proud of what you say and what you do.
