ALT-1 How Respect Helps you get Ahead on the Job
One of the biggest things you can do at work is to respect others. Respecting others will get you farther in your career than any other tactic you can try outside of hard work. When you respect others, you are telling them that you care about the fact that they have a job to do as well and you want to help them out as much as possible. Respect is a powerful force in the world of business.
When you respect your co-workers, they will respect you in return. This respect is a powerful force on your career because the people who respect you are more likely to help you out. When you need a contact, need help with a job or just need someone to talk to, your co-workers are going to be there for you if they respect you.
If you happen to have aspirations of becoming a leader at work, you should know that respect is the one thing that you have to have in order to go far as a leader. You need to be able to respect others and have them respect what you say and do. If others don't respect what you say and do it will make things really hard on you. Who is going to listen to someone they don't respect?
When the boss respects what you do, it is going to give you more opportunities to learn and grow. Maybe you need a full-time job in order to pay the bills, or maybe you want to get in some bigger projects to help you build your resume. Well, if you are respected, you will get that chance as a thank you for the hard work that you put in for the company.
Having the respect of others makes it a lot easier to operate at work. When co-workers are willing to listen to you it makes things a lot easier. It is easier to speak up at meetings, or go to the boss with ideas because the boss will listen to you. Earning the respect of others puts you on a pedestal and others will come to you because they feel like you can help the company.
When you have the respect of others, you are going to have a great shot of moving up at work. Combining your skills with your ability to lead people is a stellar combination that the boss is really going to like. You will have opportunities because people will know you and will know that you are the best choice for further development and advancement opportunities.
