In this episode, Dr. Gaye Lang and Dr. Danita Bailey-Samples discuss:
-
Confronting a disrespectful person
-
Showing respect with words and actions
-
The benefits of a respectful environment
-
Modeling respect in the workplace
Key Takeaways:
-
Sometimes, the way to address a lack of respect is to confront a person with facts and to set clear expectations.
-
Respect must be shown not only with words but also through actions. A non-judgmental environment where employees feel safe and comfortable sharing their ideas is a place where respect blossoms.
-
Reduced stress, increased productivity, and job satisfaction are some of the benefits of a respectful workplace environment. It also leads to more fun and enjoyment among employees.
-
The best way to encourage people to be respectful is for you to model respect in your own words and actions. Show empathy, say kind words, and practice simple gestures.
“It’s so important for people to know that they are valued. We need to show people that. We need to show empathy to people. We need to let them know that we understand them.” - Dr. Danita Bailey-Samples
