Dear loving people,
A significant part of focusing on your dreams, involves
giving respect to and empowering the people you meet along your path to be the
best they can be, this is one of the main objectives of Living Lectures. In
this post, we are looking at the rewards you will get when you empower and
respect other people.
Empower means that you need to provide meaningful resources
to your partners or the people you interact with. Whether it's funds,
trainings, marketing prowess, or something else entirely, we all have valuable resources
that we can share. In the business world according to Kinicki & Kreitner,
empowerment is about “sharing degrees of power with lower-level
employees to better serve the customer”. If you asked me, I would
say, empowerment is about giving
employees the permission to give customers priority and to use their creative
talents to find solutions when issues arise, without having to run to
management and ask for permission to do something. How do you like
that? Just so sweet isn’t it?
Respect on its part, means that you need to trust your partners,
associates, friends, family and the people you are bound to interact with to
set the tactical agenda: they know how to inspire people in their community on
your issues, so you should (to a great degree I would say) follow their lead.
Respect must play the most important role in any personal or
working relationship. One fact is, we all as human beings are not perfect. I
must insist that no one is. But we enhance the skills to get any situation, no
matter how difficult, to correct course and move forward. Life has taught me
that it is not by mere accident that
you come in contact with the people you are in contact with daily. They
definitely have a role to play in you reaching your goals and making success in
life.
Richard Branson
says so well “Inspire people to think like entrepreneurs, and whatever you do, treat
them like adults. The hardest taskmaster of all is a person’s own conscience,
so the more responsibility you give people, the better they will work for you.”
What more do you
need to exhale? Be blessed…
