[Respect not fear]

Funny you're reading this today, sad you're not going to agree entirely with it. It will but visit your growth at some point in your life. When you are in adoration of another you either like or love them for who they are or for what they are and how they are. It doesn't matter their geographical position, right?,,,Thanks.

You go into business with someone for various reasons and are by right correct to you in that you can justify them. You at times go in out of pressure or fear or out of pure potential you spotted. In some cases be that you be the majority holder and as such be the leader in the set-up or in some cases be that you're the minority holder and find self being led. In either case, as a leader or as a seconder, there are control and power issues involved all the time, and how do you navigate through those?

I know to some it's not a subject that is comfortable, but needs to be out in the open. Truth is, with power, comes fear or respect into play. But then, if you find yourself in the position of power, what do you expect in return from your seconder and those below? Fear or respect? Then if circumstances are flipped, will you respect or fear the one in power?

The challenge with positions of influence or power, if you know how they differ, is the degree of ego that runs immediately to the mental bank to claim glory of the boss title drawn from the safety deposit box before being given consent thereto and the key thereof. As that type, you end up with entitlement and morphed up ego. The danger with that is none respects such type but rather hate them because of the fear they instill in others. Respect is not forced, for it's a natural process that is awarded to one who cares, respects others, self and things, loves passionately what they do, leads and follows up attentively with humility and impartiality.

In conclusion: respect generally goes to a leader in charge not a leader in command. Reason for that being the material fact of respect vs fear. Through that you find the true variance of like and love, as you may be liked or like someone yet be fearing them, and but love or be loved by someone out of their sheer respect for you or your respect for them. Though it is truly up to you, but we treat the next on the approach they had on us and or based on how they treat others next to us, and from that that's where we conclude on whether it's respect or fear that we advance to you as a leader...dp
