To proceed in using the foundation of the Tower of Pisa as an illustration, it was clearly defected, the Tower could not be relied upon. Therefore, in this post we are discussing additional elements that will fortify interrelationships, trust, commendation, and mutual respect. In fact, software analytics indicated that it should have toppled by 1990. What made the difference? Strengthening the foundation and by 2001, restoration to a safe angle was finally accomplished. My point is, once there is distrust, it takes an exceptionally long time to rebuild this needed quality of reliance. I am sure we can agree that it is of utmost importance, it takes years to build “trust” and a second to destroy. It took the Tower 900 years to acquire confidence, however, interrelationships can flourish by “initially” strengthening the footing to avoid any mutual doubt. Secondly, everyone needs to hear sincere and effective “commendation” and appreciation, being acknowledged is as natural as breathing, we thrive by it. Especially, after the newness of the business relationship wears off, or after the honeymoon is over. After so many years, can we still say with veracity, “thank you” or something specific to commend your partner? Words of praise solidifies; it is the sunshine that feeds the human spirit and our motivation.
Lastly, we are all subject to the vicissitudes of life, life is a variable event, and we experience many challenges and unexpected curve balls along the way. We want to be initiative-taking and never reactive when under pressure but build solid “mutual respect” which engenders self-esteem and respect for all those involved, it is an essential ingredient for a long-lasting partnership. Every living soul is unique, there is individuality, thus, deserving to be valued and respected. Respect is the foundation of humanity and ethical behavior. Knowing and understanding the importance of these three qualities is only 50%, the other 50% is applying them personally. Hence, if we employ trust, commendation, and mutual respect, I promise you that it will be a real game changer in all your human interaction.
