A must-read for anyone starting a career or for a veteran working professional. Studies have shown that respect is a major value component of a workplace culture, and a workplace culture has been linked to workplace performance. Respect is also, without a doubt, the cornerstone to workplace diversity. A respectful workplace:
- improves employee morale
- improves employee retention
- fosters open communication
- fosters workplace equity (and fairness)
- supports a diverse and inclusive workforce
- contributes to and supports employee performance
In The Top Ten Laws of Respect in the Workplace A Professional Guide, author and continuous improvement expert Niyi Taiwo unveils the second long awaited top ten principles that govern respect between people in the workplace.
Unlike the first book in the series which has a personal context, these principles have a workplace context. Some of the principles in this book are different from those in the first book. Among other things, the
author lays out the basic principles needed to cultivate a strong work
ethic, as well as the formula ('ACE') for elevating personal workplace
performance
.
The author again thoughtfully introduces the foundational laws, principles that govern the essence of respect; the influential laws, principles that govern fundamental factors that explain the way you gain and lose respect; and sustaining laws, principles that govern factors and practices that enable a person to maintain respect in a workplace.
The
author masterfully deploys more powerful stories all through the book
that facilitate a clear understanding of the subject and that make the
reading experience enjoyable and enlightening. The carefully crafted
stories, including the engaging anchor story 'Crystal Vases,' hit home and everyone will be able to relate to many of them.
The timeless principles that make up these ten laws will serve as a guide for anyone interested in professional development and workplace performance for years to come.
