Episode 103: 7 Forms of Respect

The Golden Rule states that you should treat others the way you would like to be treated. The Platinum Rule states that you should treat others the way they want to be treated. What happens if you don’t know how they want to be treated? What happens when miscommunication, misunderstanding and feeling a lack of respect enters the picture? We are fortunate to have Dr. Julie Pham joins Twins Talk it Up to discuss another dimension of this in what she coined as the Rubber Band Rule. 

Dr. Julie Pham is an author and the CEO of CuriosityBased, an organizational development firm based in Seattle, WA. We dive into her latest book, entitled, 7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming Your Communication and Relationships at Work.

What does respect mean to you? Julie’s research on this topic of respect led to the development of a framework for understanding how to communicate respect within the workplace. Those forms or categories of respect include:

• Procedure
• Punctuality
• Information
• Candor
• Consideration
• Acknowledgment
• Attention

Prioritizing and being able to describe your preference, along with learning what other leaders and colleagues prefer will increase both effectiveness and clarity in communication.

Julie also shares that practicing curiosity can be broken down to:

Increasing self-awareness (being curious about yourself)

Building relationships (being curious about others & allowing them to be about you)

Communicating clearly (asking and listening with curiosity)

Building a great culture is critical for the success of any organization. Spark conversation, curiosity and trust. To learn more about Dr. Julie Pham, her work on the topic of respect and to pick up a copy of her book, visit formsofrespect.com/
