HOW TO EARN RESPECT AS A LEADER (and signs your employees don't respect you)

[@randomactsofchaos5029]

Lack of respect has nothing do do with them. Leadership has boundaries. Leadership holds people accountable. Leading by example has nothing to do with respect. Documenting is the key.

[@culliganultrapureofplainvi2148]

Sometimes it has to be the old saying " you can't change people so change people"

[@makeda.andrews]

Thank you for this insight. I absolutely agree with that statement too.

[@jerrypolete5258]

I just had to do this with 2 of my employees.

[@Ankur_Misra]

For me, as a new lead, the single most important takeaway is point 1 - to take my role seriously; invest in learning, self improvement. Thank you for this.

[@thirtymiles6851]

Put boundaries early, communicate clearly your expectations, ignore people attitude and focus on the goals...

[@curiousobserver5332]

Your team is a direct reflection of you. Powerful!

[@makeda.andrews]

Wish more managers realized that!

[@bln0046]

I have found this to be true, but I have also found that some people choose disrespect and do what they want to do. At this point replace them, after write ups.

[@curiousobserver5332]

@@bln0046 Indeed there are those, and they aren't the right fit for the team, so they do move on or are asked to move on. Managers establish a culture & lead with a strong & motivating unified "why" and when consistent, the right people are hired and stay.

[@jesham7627]

Tip #1 is quite powerful! A prepared leader presents a leader who is vested in their role.

[@makeda.andrews]

ooooh I like that Jes. A prepared leader presents a leader who is vested in their role. I'm stealing that! But don't worry, I'll give you credit ;) ahahaha.

I took a management position earlier this month. This video really helped solidify what I was thinking. I really appreciate the validation and the help to know what to do next. I can’t say I’m not still stumped but not completely. Thank you!!

[@shahshreeta]

Sometimes there are incompetent teams who have not properly been trained before coming to the job.

[@MarioVisions]

Thank you! Much needed. I was blaming others but what I really need to do is start with myself and become a better leader and see from there

[@4islandbeauty]

I definitely have room for improvement when it comes to motivating my team. Definitely a hard pill to swallow. My biggest area of opportunity is delegating and removing constant underperfromers.

[@makeda.andrews]

Hi there! I so appreciate your honesty and self awareness. Releasing those that don't belong and delegation is super tough. But the good news is you're aware of what needs some tweaking so I'm confident that things will get better!

[@littlejobo29]

I'm struggling with moving from a team member to a Manager. Delegation is hard for me. As I tend to do what I see when I see it. Very frustrating

[@rajk.4530]

I think leadership is about trusting your team and keeping them motivated for work, but if you don't lead by example and think the team will respect you they will never, first you need to prove why you are a leader.

[@romieostarr4237]

You sound like the team

[@missnelly9942]

That didn’t work for me. ☹️

[@nathansollmer1148]

Thank you so much for your advice 🎉 this is an eye opener for the reflection because I see myself not reflecting this on my current team but if I don’t set these clear expectations they will never perform to my desire 🎉 all the best with your channel

I love this , recently promoted and things when to another level

[@CliffordAdamsJr409]

I think to add to this: the workplace is way different now, and honestly not for the better. You can do all this right and in the end, if you the leader is also the best employee, that’s a huge problem. Two, most people today are entitled, and lazy. That’s part of today’s culture. That goes back to parenting and family culture.

[@CraftyAliConfessions]

Totally agree, I’ve been a leader in some sort of capacity for the past 40 years, and I’m finding this more and more, with entitled and lazy people. I’m finding that the younger generation are harder to manage/lead with as they have a different way of doing many things.

[@CliffordAdamsJr409]

@@CraftyAliConfessionsI’ll add on to this: younger generations want to be paid without doing the work needed. Plus lots of businesses are short staffed, so they putting up with bad behavior because they need bodies. Wrong way to do business. When you have workers, you don’t always need bodies. And co workers aren’t your friends anyways, simply do your job. Do what’s asked of you. Not hard. No one had time to coddle or argue with your feelings when business is involved.

[@calilove6103]

Thank you so much for all the great information.

[@raffibarsoumian1075]

I have been a leader, and it was not always respect or lack of it that prevented some members of my team from talking to me, it was more insecurity on their part, they usually had something to hide which I later found out many times over.

[@yichispiritual]

Then what do you do when you found out

[@christiewilliams1704]

Hello! when people come into a leadership role...YOU need to take some classes and their boss or company should encourage it. THE KEY is taking your role seriously ( addressing bad behavior, not overlooking it). I concur with Misra below as well.

[@TomorrowisYesterday]

If you’re IQ is 90 and your employee’s IQ is over 120, if you’ve already lost respect, and if the type of job allows for extreme optimization/engineering, you’re gonna have a really hard time earning it back.

[@melissacheatham6751]

Thank you for the good practical tips that offer hope that the ship can be turned around. I appreciate it.

[@shrekikiki]

Great video. Can you tell also, what to say when they actually do things like interrupt you, being late dont pay attention when you speak? actual phrases to use…

[@yichispiritual]

“To finish what I was speaking…”. Sometimes it s just documentation and ask them why, set up an action plan and involve HR

[@lazysquirrel5088]

As a person who leads other people. The biggest disrespect is when my leaders undermine your decision. Telling me that I am only a leader when they want me to be

[@Hamyhamster24]

i have to disagree on the communication part as most of my career i dont verbalize much with my managers via in-person and prefer to do it over email or chat because i have social anxiety. I still greatly respects them, i just have a different method of communications, and they all understood that and we all worked just fine :)

Amazing ❤

[@aginggracefullywithnoeliasoto]

This was soooooo helpful. Thx you.

[@makeda.andrews]

You are so welcome!

[@StephenGangi]

Give people respect. Don't demand respect from people you disrespect. Don't ask or tell anyone to do anything you aren't willing to do. Give people credit when they've earned it. Give discipline when there's no other way. Don't cover for and protect people who are NO GOOD, even if they are your drinking buddies. Make necessary decisions, don't dump them on those under you If they are forced to make YOUR decisions don't second guess, criticize, or countermand them - it was your fault. Don't demand more more more and then take off early every day or just goof off Make sure the work assignments are realistic and fairly distributed. Praise in public, tear them up in private. I learned these things as an E-4 and E-5 in the Army. It's simple.

[@makeda.andrews]

I agree with most of these. Thanks for sharing your insights

[@AngelitoAzul]

You as a leader are their immediate coach. Though they get trained else where the implement what they learn in front of you. That’s where correcting and speaking with them on a one on one basis will help you coach and mold them.

[@VidMediumNS]

If you get angry because people don't "respect you" and feel you deserve it. Then I'm sorry that's entitled. Respect looks different for everyone. If you are angry it's because you have a lack of knowledge about the disrespecter. The reason why most people don't have respect is because they don't feel heard or appreciated or even thought about. If you are disorganized, snappy, interrogating, and uninterested in them ... Why would they work well with you?

[@caprimungeam662]

Telling me, "you know..." in a video where you are supposed to be teaching me something is.....oxymoronic. Drop the "you know" it's very much like "ah" or "um". Be confident w/ what you know!

I’m a BRAND NEW community Manager and my maintenance team as well as maintenance management doesn’t communicate with me very much about my property. I told my manager in corporate about it BUT it only changed a little bit. Now there’s major construction done on my property and I’ve not been told by management… the previous manager was told. I back off bc maybe since she was the previous manager they trust her more HOWEVER I’m the new manager and I’m getting sad and disappointed that I’m the last to know.
