Respecting differences and encouraging mutual respect reduces conflicts and stress while increasing productivity, knowledge sharing, and innovation. Leaders must model respectful behavior to earn respect from employees.

Respectfullness
 Diversity is no longer constrained to physical attributes, like race, gender and religion. It also encompasses differences in work style, generational differences and personalities. Workplace diversity is important. It increases the talent pool and brings new ideas, perspectives and skills to your workforce. Put simply, greater diversity means greater business vibrancy, and you must ensure you the stress the importance of respect in the workplace to reflect this.
 People don’t always see eye-to-eye, and there are many things colleagues might disagree over at work. The correct order to carry out a project, the best way to solve a problem or a difference in work style could all be areas your employees often clash over. After all, everyone has a different perspective and outlook on how a project will progress. However, it’s important that your employees understand that, while discussion is important, you must be respectful, professional and pleasant while at work.
Encouraging mutual respect will help to:  REDUCE WORKPLACE STRESS, CONFLICT AND PROBLEMS. An increase in workplace respect will help to improve communication between colleagues, increase teamwork and reduce stress as peace in the workplace soars.  INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. As mutual understanding and respect increase, the exchange of ideas will rise which will increase company knowledge and innovation. Reducing the amount of pettiness and workplace politics will also assist in increasing productivity. The goal will shift from one-upping a colleague to focusing on the company as a whole.  Additionally, your company will experience a more positive culture and you will notice an increase in employee satisfaction and a decrease in turnover. Respect in the workplace is vital, and it is not solely the responsibility of your employees.
Respectfullness
 Sure, on television or in the movies, it's always the rogue cop or the office worker who pushes the limits who wins the rewards and praise. In real life, it's the person who does what they are supposed to do. This is especially important if you're the boss or work in a management role.  The boss who slacks off from working, comes in late, leaves early, and spends more time shopping online than working, won't engender respect from the coworkers. While the effect of rule-following isn't as strong among peers, it still plays a critical role. People don't respect people who don't respect the rules.  This is especially true in a workplace where most employees do follow the rules. After all, they were put in place for a reason. Whether to create workplace harmony or to fairly and ethically deal with employees, workplace rules most often are carefully thought out.

Whether to create workplace harmony or to fairly and ethically deal with employees, workplace rules most often are carefully thought out.
 This is one area where the television shows get it right—that cop may break all of the rules, but he certainly puts in the hours. Now, working hard doesn't mean you need to work 80 hours a week, but it does mean that you need to work when you're supposed to work.  If you're an exempt employee, you'll probably need to put in a bit more time than the office norm. If you're a non-exempt employee, make sure that you clear all overtime with your boss before working it. You don't get respect by working off the clock or by surprising your boss with your time card.  Working hard also means that you need to spend your work time on work. You won't earn the status of a respected employee if you are viewed by others as a person who steals time from your employer.
 You may think that the person with the most respect is the one standing at the head of the conference table giving the presentation, but that's not always the case. If you feel as if you always need to talk, you're not likely the most respected person in the room.  People gain respect by actually listening to the ideas of others. This doesn't mean that you can't share your ideas, but it does mean that you need to pay attention to what others are saying.  Remember, you were hired to do your job, and other employees were hired to do theirs. That may seem like a super basic statement, but, in practical terms, it means that other people are experts on tasks outside of your expertise. So, listen to what they have to say about their area of expertise.  Recognize that, in listening to your coworkers, you treat them with respect. This respect engenders respect for you and what you have to say.
 When the accounts payable person tells you that it will take three days to get the supplier's check cut, don't assume that it's because she's lazy. She may be lazy, but she probably also needs to follow required processes and procedures that restrict her ability to respond to your timeliness requirements.  Just because you don't understand why or when something happens doesn't mean that a valid reason doesn't exist.
 You're not perfect. No one is. You will make mistakes. If you want respect, you need to admit your mistakes. Practice this statement, “I'm sorry. What can I do to fix it?”  The last part is critical in many situations— otherwise, the apology is just an empty statement. If you're the boss, you take the blame for the team's failures as well as your own. If you're an individual contributor, you need to take the blame for your own missteps. A mistake isn't a career ender. Not admitting a mistake can become a career ender.
 Having people respect you isn't dependent on people thinking that you're right all of the time. It's about people trusting you and appreciating what you have to say. Just like you need to take your lumps when you make a mistake, you need to listen to what people have to say about you.  Your boss thinks your marketing plan stinks? Well, ask her why and carefully consider what she has to say. Your direct report thinks that your marketing plan stinks? Well, ask her why and carefully consider what she has to say.  Those last two lines weren't an accidental repeat of the preceding lines. Whether the criticism comes from above or below you must carefully consider what the person had to say. Go ahead and ask questions. They may be right. They may be dead wrong, but you won't know unless you consider it.
 The above is not a suggestion to let people walk all over you. You can carefully consider criticism and say, “Jane, I heard what you said about the marketing plan not hitting the right target, but I disagree. I believe that the market research shows that blah, blah, blah.”  If someone criticizes your personal appearance, family status, race, gender, whatever, you can certainly call them on it. “I'm sorry, the fact that I look young has what to do with this?” Standing up for yourself is critical to earning respect from coworkers and bosses.  On the other side, though, don't go looking for offense where no offense is intended. If you get upset about every little comment anyone makes, you'll look like a whiner. Some things, you just need to let them go.
 Think about who you respect the most. Is it someone who pushed people under the bus right and left on her way to the top? Probably not. (And if it is, please consider getting therapy.) Instead, you undoubtedly respect someone who was kind and helpful.  So, if you want others to respect you, try doing the same. Take time to mentor. Don't get angry when your direct reports, peers, or bosses make mistakes. Just help them get the job done and done right. When you lift up those around you, you all rise together.
Respectfullness
 Bring great energy and passion to your work. Don’t think of your position as a job, think of it as a mission, an opportunity to transform and support people who support and transform others. The result of your passion is a better world/company/experience for all. If you continuously demonstrate that making a difference in the lives of others is important and meaningful to you you’ll go far.  The key is to model the above behaviors consistently, this isn’t a “one and done” formula. Your values and your efforts will be recognized in your organization and by your boss. Remember, you can’t make someone respect you. You can make consistent effort to earn respect and at the end of the day, the person whose respect you need the most, is your own.
 Be a continuous learner. Be committed to growing and stretching into new definitions of yourself and your capabilities. Accept feedback as an opportunity to grow, and then implement the learning you have received. Get excited about what you could do and become with new skills that you take action to cultivate.
 You are here to make a difference, to be of service to all you interact with, both inside and outside of your company . Be proactive, take initiative, bring solutions and never wait for someone to tell you what to do – anticipate and make a difference. Add value far beyond the scope of what you are paid for. The result? You’ll be a valued tribe member and get promoted. Again and again.
 Make time to reflect on yourself, the clients, the company so that you learn how to improve and serve others best. Identify behaviors you want to shift and seek the support you need. If things aren’t going as you want, look into how you created the breakdown. Then fix it. Lessons are when we learn once. Mistakes are when we continuously repeat the same blunder. Avoid this at all costs.
 Make your word your bond. Honor confidentiality. Keep your commitments, communicate in advance if you are going to be late and always be a reliable trusted team member. Ensure that your boss doesn’t need to check in on you by consistently delivering on time and per your commitment. Walk your walk and talk your talk. Focus on details and deliver accurate work.
 Communication ensures alignment and connection. Any challenge can be resolved with authentic heart-felt communication. When in doubt, over-communicate so that your boss knows what’s going on and everyone knows what is expected and what is needed. Concise communication raises your status, saves everyone time, and moves the ball forward. Communication creates visibility and transparency—both of which help your boss make better decisions.
