Leadership First posted an inspiring article about how important respect and courtesy are for all organizations. I love his quote saying, “When employees respect each other and get along in the workplace, it’s amazing how productivity increases, morale increases and employees are more courteous to customers.”
I agree that respect is the glue that respect is the glue that holds teams and organizations together. When there is a high level of respect in any environment, loyalty is extremely high and employees become confident because people are treated with courtesy and kindness. Great leaders ensure that all forms of discrimination and bullying and gossiping are rejected and as a result the organization becomes most profitable.
I have seen this not only in business but also in education. We must hold everyone accountable for their actions, good or bad!
