Respect and Authority

Personally I value respect a lot. If I sense any lack of respect towards me from anyone, I disconnect with him. I find it very irritating to communicate with someone who is not willing to hear my opinions and not respecting my presence. Respect in work environment depends on personal skills, trust and achievements. We need to respect and be respected while experiencing and expressing authority. When mentioning authority we should also talk about how to maintain our power while leading someone. Many different kinds of leadership is present but the best way is an emphatic and trustful way. We did some communication examples in class when in a presence of authority, shaping our sentences trough subjective and requesting to say no. In order to be respected, we should have an energy which affects positively to whom we interact and we should let everyone be autonomous. We should remember that us having the power doesn't mean that we should use the power and  we shouldn't act predicting that someone would use the power he or she has.
