As a business owner (and a human being in general) it’s natural to desire to be respected. But it’s important that we are mindful of how we’re garnering the respect we receive.
I recently heard the question, “do you demand respect or command respect” and I just love it. the two words seem pretty similar, but there are some distinct differences that I’m going to walk through in this episode today.
I’m so passionate about this topic because learning it, understanding it and embracing it will make us all better business owners, better leaders, and better people in general. It’s a win-win for everybody, and who doesn’t love that?!
