Employee Engagement Through Leadership: The Power of Respect

When properly aligned with personal values, drives, and needs, culture can unleash tremendous amounts of energy toward a shared purpose and foster an organization’s capacity to thrive.”

Q: Respect from your supervisor “She seemed like she was just doing her job to cover her butt. I don’t think she listened to her employees at all.

I think if I had more training it would have been better.” (Satisfaction score 1) “I had a couple of different supervisors there. Julie was just a rude person to everyone, and the main person, Jane, was super condescending.” (Satisfaction score 2)

5 areas that lead to higher respect and civility Acknowledging people’s contributions Listening better Respecting others’ time Making people feel valued Declare yourself
Effects of increased respect between you and your colleagues.
“Declare Myself” Explain exactly how you intend to lead, what you value, your thoughts on your industry, and your work and communication style. This method will remove the mystery from working relationships and increase transparency and accountability.
“Declare Myself” The practice should also be reciprocal. At a subsequent meeting, always invite the other person to share their own personal philosophy, beliefs, and work style. The practice shows employees that working relationships are important and worthy of time and energy—and that mutual understanding is valued in the work environment.
Questions to think about • What are your initial perceptions of this employee? • How would you use this feedback to improve your employee engagement and culture?
Reflection and self awareness The most useful reflection involves the conscious consideration and analysis of beliefs and actions for the purpose of learning. Reflection gives the brain an opportunity to pause amidst the chaos, untangle and sort through observations and experiences, consider multiple possible interpretations, and create meaning. This meaning becomes learning, which can then inform future mindsets and actions. For leaders, this “meaning making” is crucial to their ongoing growth and development.
Reflection Research by Giada Di Stefano, Francesca Gino, Gary Pisano, and Bradley Staats in call centers demonstrated that employees who spent 15 minutes at the end of the day reflecting about lessons learned performed 23% better after 10 days than those who did not reflect.
Reflection questions What are you avoiding? How are you helping your colleagues achieve their goals? How are you not helping or even hindering their progress? How might you be contributing to your least enjoyable relationship at work? How could you have been more effective in a recent meeting? Am I being a person others can respect? Am I performing at my peak capacity?
One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say. Bryant H. McGill
Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners. Laurence Sterne
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Richard Bach
