Everyone wants to be treated with respect, but respect
means different things to different people. It also means different things
in different cultures, so treating others with respect often becomes a
serious problem. If you want to avoid offending someone by being disrespectful,
you must think about both what they need and how you act.
Respect sometimes means
-
Look at me¬make eye contact!
-
Don’t look at me.
-
Listen attentively when I speak
-
Respond to what I mean instead of to what I say. That often
means respond to my emotions as well as to my words.
-
Ignore my emotions when I am supposed to appear strong.
-
Keep the agreements you make with me.
-
Keep time agreements with me. Don’t keep me waiting.
-
Notice what seems to be important to me and comment on it.
-
Remember what I like and dislike.
-
Don’t force me to encounter things I hate.
-
Allow me my privacy.

Don’t ignore me.
-
Acknowledge everything I do well.
-
Don’t demean me by commenting on my expected work.
-

Yes, it is contradictory! How can you sort it out? First
and foremost, recognize that people are different from you and from each
other.
Be mindful of the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you.”
Be even more mindful of the Platinum Rule, “Do unto others
as they would have you do unto them.”
Pay attention to how others respond to you and, when possible,
when you can do so without violating your own principles, treat them as
they expect and wish to be treated.
