If They Respect You, They Follow
If They Respect You, They Follow - John Maxwell - /
People don't follow others by accident. They follow individuals whose leadership they respect. And the more leadership ability a person has, the more quickly he or she recognizes leadership - or its lack - in others. When people get together for the first time as a group, take a look at what happens. As they start interacting, the leaders in the group immediately take charge. They think in terms of the direction they desire to go and who they want to take with them. At first, people may make tentative moves in several different directions, but after the people get to know one another, it doesn't take long for them to recognize the strongest leaders and to follow them.
In time, people in the group get on board and follow the strongest leaders. Either that or they leave the group and pursue their own agendas.

6yRespect is the number one thing that every person should seek from others. A good relationship is always based on respect for your peer. When respect is given and received, then great things can be accomplished and people can become more successful.
