Respect the Role

09.19.2012 · Posted in Articles, Business & Worklife, Teamwork

Every role comes with responsibility.

When I see you aren’t taking care of your responsibilities I have a couple of options.

If I don’t respect your role, I’m free to tackle those responsibilities myself.

Sure it’s extra work for me, but – especially if we don’t value teamwork – I’ll look good in the eyes of my superiors, and maybe get a  promotion.

On the other hand, if I respect the role, and we value teamwork, and you involve me, I’ll do anything in my power to help you succeed.

Respect the role.
