“What should you do so that employees respect you”

🌟 Every manager dreams of influencing their employees to achieve the organization’s goals while also earning their respect. One of the great skills of successful leaders is that they manage to achieve both ideals simultaneously — and they do so by following certain principles and practices, which this text explains.

🌟 Find your own leadership style Knowing clearly whether you lead your team through your technical expertise or through your charisma and personal presence helps your people trust you and respect you.

🌟 Be compassionate toward your people — and show it Nothing destroys a manager’s influence and respect faster than ignoring employees or failing to value their dignity.

🌟 Increase your knowledge as much as possible The more a manager understands the organization and its environment, the better their decisions will be — and this naturally increases their credibility.

🌟 Invest in yourself Great leaders are lifelong learners. By learning new things, they invest in their own growth.

🌟 Manage your brand As a leader, you must actively manage your personal and organizational brand by gathering feedback from customers and stakeholders and improving your reputation.

🌟 Focus on the future Great leaders visualize the future and align the organization’s energy toward achieving long‑term goals.

🌟 Know your people well A good manager knows what their employees enjoy, their hobbies, their children’s names, and — most importantly — what they excel at. Employees love leaders who truly know them.

🌟 Support your employees’ professional growth A leader must create opportunities for employees to grow, because individual success leads to organizational success.

🌟 Praise your people generously When employees perform well, acknowledge them — whether publicly, privately, or even through small but meaningful gifts.

🌟 Show your people that you have their back If they feel supported, they will support you in critical moments.

🌟 Surround yourself with the best As the saying goes, “No one knows everything.” Bring in strong people who complement your weaknesses and make the team stronger.

🌟 Listen first, then speak Great leaders listen more than they talk. They gather information, think carefully, and then decide.

🌟 Take risks Without risk, there is no reward. Employees admire courageous leaders and are willing to go the extra mile for them.

🌟 Always pursue the best and the greatest Great leaders constantly seek improvement. They believe their best work is ahead of them and that their biggest successes lie in the future.
