training head to JOINTNI.COM As a Career Strategist I've had the honor of
being able to help numerous professionals land their dream job
offers and so if this is something that you're interested in working with me one
on one I can give you details about that at the end of this video not too long
ago I released a video called how to get your employees to respect you as a
manager and I got a great response from that episode but at the same time some
of you asked me Linda how do I get respect from my boss it seems as though
those with higher titles just ignore me because I'm not at their level not to
worry I can totally understand that if you're someone who's at a lower level in
your organization that you can feel that maybe the people above you don't really
respect you but I'm going to teach you four key tips on how to gain respect
from your bosses or higher-ups in your organization without feeling less than
or sacrificing who you are tip number one establish some credibility through
your work respect is gained through demonstrating your ability to do high
quality work now many people tell me that's not true I work hard every day
yet people don't notice me and that's because you're only doing the most basic
thing in order to gain respect delivering high quality work is the
first most basic step to gaining respect from other people but it's not the only
thing so if that's all and the only thing that you're doing it's not enough
to help you shine but it is an important first step so make sure that you deliver
consistent high quality work deliver items before their deadline if possible
and make sure that your work isn't full of careless errors or mistakes tip
number two don't bow down see yourself as an equal what I'm saying here is give
yourself approval before you seek others approval I've mentioned this before
about the concept of not being overly nice just be
because your job title or rank is lower than others in your work doesn't mean
that you have to compensate by being overly nice to them and acting like
you're less than them if you feel that way about yourself
that's how others are going to feel about you too you need to own your work
and own who you are and approach any colleague or co-worker whether above or
below you the same you're going to approach anyone I - I with a deep level
of inner self confidence and know and own the belief that you are important
tip number three be bold yet respectful be willing to express your thoughts and
emotions on processes or things in your company in your department that you feel
aren't working well and at the same time be willing to offer solutions on how you
can help to improve them for example if there were problems or issues in your
department that you notice keep coming up time and again and no one's doing
anything about them and you know that there's a way to fix that then instead
of bringing it up at a big meeting with all of your bosses I would say just
approach your boss on a one-to-one level and bring it up with him or her and from
there make your recommendation on what could be changed and offer to be the key
person to lead that change that improvement that's going to help to
establish credibility for you it's also going to make your boss see you in a way
where you're someone who's proactive who wants to improve things and also it
doesn't embarrass your current boss or anyone else in the organization if you
all of a sudden bring it up at a big meeting now the key after bringing it up
bringing up your recommendations and what changes you can make is to actually
do them you have to stick true to your word you have to execute you have to do
the action steps that are required in order to improve whatever it is that you
were noticing was not going well and from there record the results keeping
record of these achievements and the results that came about are going to be
very helpful for you in your next performance review and that's going to
also help to garner more respect from others in your company and finally tip
number for ask and remember unique details
about your boss don't be afraid to talk to your boss or your boss's boss as if
they're another human being because they are don't be afraid to ask them about
their weekend their kids perhaps or the weather it's good to talk to others in a
casual comfortable way because it shows that you're confident in yourself you
are not afraid to speak up you're not afraid to talk to someone and you don't
see them at necessarily a higher level than you you see them eye to eye this
goes back to one of my previous tips and remember the things that they tell you
keep them in mind create a mental note so if they love talking about their dog
the next time you see them ask them about their dog the reason for this is
when you follow up with specific questions about things that people have
told you whether these people are at higher or lower ranks than you it makes
them feel valued and if you want to feel valued
you need to make others feel valued as well it's a reciprocal kind of
relationship so being able to remember unique details about what your boss
tells you is a good thing because in essence eventually he or she will
remember things that you mentioned as well and to end this off I thought I'd
leave you with an inspiring quote which says respect yourself and others will
respect you by Confucius so there you have it those are my four tips on how to
gain respect from your boss or higher-ups at work now if you're someone
