The 3 Things You Need To Do To Earn Co-Workers Respect

Author Bob Bronson

If you are still in the workforce and spend time in a real work space, you know that having the respect of your co-workers is essential. Without the respect, it becomes a very different place to be. How do we gain the respect that we want and need? Let’s take a look at what an author who specializes in leadership has to say about it.

Our workplaces are where we spend up to a third of our day, let’s just say the average worker spend 8 hours a day there. Keeping that in mind, having the respect of your co-workers is essential.

Do you feel like your coworkers respect you?    If not, here’s how you might be able to EARN their respect . . .

The author of a book called “The Mentally Strong Leader” says that whether you’re the boss or an entry-level employee, there are three categories of things you need to do to gain people’s respect at work:  Give . . . resist . . . and exude.

1.  Give.  Be generous with your time and knowledge.  Praise other people’s efforts.  Take time to offer good feedback.  And give other people YOUR respect. No matter where you are on the rung of the ladder, you want to hear good things about your performance. It’s human nature and nothing wrong with it, you’re not being needy, you’re being normal.

2.  Resist.  Resist the temptation to gossip about coworkers.  Don’t get roped into being negative.  And resist taking credit for stuff, even when it’s deserved.  Be modest instead, and talk about how it was a group effort.  They’ll still know you deserve the credit, but they’ll respect you for resisting. This is a sure sign of maturity and will go a long way in earning the respect of your co-workers

3.  Exude.  Exude professionalism, which includes not being late to stuff.  Be open, honest, and transparent.  Exude confidence.  Collaborate.  Be accountable for your own mistakes.  And be authentic.  When people know they’re getting the real you, they respect you for it.  It’s really quite simple, be a pro, heck just ask yourself, “what would Tom Brady do”. After all he is the GOAT of his workplace.

It’s one thing to meet somebody at work if you’re single. But not when you’re married, Work can also be a place where you could meet a potential fling. Or somebody you will have extracurricular activities with.

What is it about the work place that is conducive to cheating?

Thinking about why people cheat at work, and there are a lot of reasons. It is the time spent together. Heck, you might spend more daylight hours with your coworkers than you do anybody else. It’s the nighttime hours though that are of particular concern.

You can see somebody at their best and worst at work. You can learn a lot about somebody. by how they conduct themselves in the workplace environment. Are they nice? Are they smart and if they’re attractive as well, well, you know what can happen.

The survey asked spouses, who admitted to having an affair in the workplace what their profession was. What they didn’t ask, is whether or not the person they had the affair with was single or married. It could be either.

All different types of workplaces

What is striking when you look at the seven jobs professions people are most likely to cheat at the workplace? The answer is that you see very different types of jobs. Everything from the school your kids might attend, to the hospital you may have visited. To even the truck driver that you see rolling down the highway.

Here are the seven professions that people are most likely to cheat at work

  • 7. Property and construction

    This one was surprising, because when you think of construction sites you think of men at work with very few women. But it also includes property management, which means opportunity to cheat. Is there all over the properties. There must be some empty apartments to rendezvous in.

  • 6. Engineering and manufacturing

    Both high stress jobs that probably would lead to some after work get together‘s. We all know that if you have a few drinks after work with co workers, things can happen.

  • 5. Hospitality and events management

    When you think about hotel and events management, do you think about opportunity because you are only a door away from either a hotel room or another place? That would be very convenient to have a fling. All you need are the hotel keys

  • 4. Transport and logistics

    When it comes to transport and logistics, that is a wide field , everything from the truck driver, who is on the road to a logistics team, that might be traveling together. And once again, travel and hotels are a very tricky combination for someone who is inclined to have an affair.

  • 3. Healthcare

    Healthcare, this one might be surprising because you’re thinking of hospitals in high pressure, but it wouldn’t be the first time a doctor and a nurse got together. I don’t even wanna think about where this could happen, but there are always empty hospital beds somewhere.

  • 2. Teacher

    Again, this is a surprise! Teachers? Who knew? Teachers are under a lot of stress. And that might lead to looking elsewhere for comfort. The only question I have is where does it take place? We imagine it is off-campus. Or shall we say let’s hope it’s off-campus!

  • 1. Sales

    r.

    Most people would not be surprised to see that sales leads the list. Especially if it is a person who is on the road a lot. Typically if you are in sales, you are very good at communicating and know just what to say. So if you’re somebody looking to cheat, you might enjoy getting the sale a bit too much.
