To gain real respect, one must not adopt fear tactics but instead focus on cultivating respect through positive behaviors like being knowledgeable, having a good attitude, treating others with affection, being a good listener and empathizing with others. Some key things to do every day include greeting family, coworkers and friends with a smile, reciprocating communication, dressing appropriately for your profession, and avoiding inappropriate personal or political comments at work.

1. This is a basic human need.
Every body wants it.
It’s OK to desire…
But now the Big Question……
How to get this?
How to command respect?

2. Fear Factor:
o Some may respect you out of fear. But this is not
a real respect. Its short lived and only on the face.
o One must not adopt this “Fear Factor” to gain
respect.
o It’s a self destructive approach and
it breaks teams also.

3. The Real Respect: If…
o Someone respects you from his/her heart.
o Someone respects you even when you are not there.
o Someone remembers you for your knowledge,
attitude, behavior, love, affection, working style,
delegation, attention, faith etc.

4. Follow these ten golden rules and enjoy every
moment of living.
Things to do everyday:
1. Greet your family members first thing in the morning. If
you are not used to this, they will be surprised with your
sudden and nice gesture.
2. Greet your peers, subordinates and boss once you enter
the office. Smile at even the 'security' personnel standing
at the gate, who takes care of your safety.
3. Greet your friends along the way and do not ignore them.

5. 4. Continuously reciprocate to breed communication. If you
do not reciprocate at least with a 'thanks' when you get
information or a source on your online network or your
offline network, you will not be remembered for a long
time. If you are not remembered, you are out of your
network.
5. Be a proactive listener and empathize with others to
command respect.

6. 6. While talking to others, your voice, tone and tenor must
be audible and soothing. It should not be aggressive or in
a shouting mode.
7. Dress well to suit your profession and to create positive
vibes in your workplace. If you are a sales
representative, do not go out with printed shirts and
jeans, which may turn down your customer.

7. 8. Political, Religious and Personal comments must be
avoided at all costs in the workplace, when you are in a
group.
9. Your communication should not provoke others.
10. Do not speak ill of others if you can help it.
