Respect is one of the most powerful forms of leadership currency. It shapes how people hear your feedback, follow your direction, trust your decisions, and respond when the work gets difficult.
In this five-day challenge, you’ll learn how to build respect from the inside out, starting with your own self-respect and then exploring how to earn respect from different personality groups on your team.
Each short article gives you a practical leadership focus, a common respect-killer to avoid, and a reflection or action item that you can apply right away.
By the end of the challenge, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to lead with more integrity, credibility, empathy, consistency, and flexibility – depending on what your team members need most from you.
