You don’t gain respect by creating something special. Nor by being better than someone else.
You gain respect by giving, by connecting, by sharing a moment.
During a panel event I held the other night, the panelists were asked what was one habit they’ve developed that they consider a secret; something little they do that others may not.
One panelist said every single day for years she has said hi to everyone in the office.
Familiarity breeds respect.
It’s inevitable you’ll share a conversation at one point. It’s inevitable you’ll give them something you have an extra of. It’s inevitable you’ll connect with them on a recent article you’ve read that made you think of them.
You can bet she said more than hi, but hi is the best place to start.
