The best way to gain respect from others is by investing respect on them.
We respect our teammates when we come on time during agreed meetings. This has been built in my system. The moment I'm late, I feel so sorry. I would call or text my teammates if I cant make it to the agreed time.
I remember an instance when we had a meeting, I noticed that almost all of my teammates weren't around yet five minutes after the agreed time. I observed that this has been happening for at least three times. I was not feeling okay at that time and so when the members of my team were all complete, I addressed this issue and we discussed about it. There was another instance when I observed that my teammate was always coming late and I really confronted him to the point that he cried.
Listening to other's opinions is one of the many ways to show respect. Each person is a unique art of God, a miracle of God, by His design, by His intention. Being aware of our teammate's boundaries, privacy and preferences would be very helpful also to know how to deal with him in such a way that we truly respect him.
As we respect our teammates, I believe, they will respect us in return. This is very crucial as we lead people as God has called us to serve Him in this capacity. As we respect a person, we are affirming God's view of him.
How will you show respect to your teammates in such a way that will glorify God?
