My dear friends,
As HR Professionals occupying a pivotal position in any organization performing important roles, we must enjoy the support of our subordinates as also that of colleagues in other departments across the organization.
This unconditional support can be possible only when we enjoy the respect of those we interact day in and out. Right from the punitive Personnel Department era to the present day Human Resources Development culture prevailing in all organizations, HR professionals are the most blamed lot for many obvious reasons.
The position one occupies may fetch him/her respect across the organization whereas the reality is different. Many people tend to show overt respect as a matter of routine and custom and not necessarily the moral respect. Under the circumstances how can we command respect from others and why people tend to show scant respect is discussed by me in my article:
Respect from Subordinates - Do You Command or Demand? <link updated to site home> ( Search On Cite | Search On Google )
Please read and opine, as usual. Healthy comments from those in the field will throw more light on the discussion.
Regards.
