Practicing radical respect means recognizing and responding to the three biggest barriers: bias, prejudice, and bullying. Each one calls for a different approach. Bias is often unintentional and best addressed with gentle “I” statements. Prejudice is conscious and requires firm “It” statements that reference policy or values. Bullying is malicious and needs direct “You” statements that set clear boundaries. No leader gets it right all the time, but building a respectful workplace starts with awareness, accountability and action. https://ow.ly/nhqN50VyTv5 #RadicalRespect #LeadWithEmpathy
