                \n
              • Here\u2019s what differentiates leaders from others \u2013 leaders respect people. Respect is the due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.<\/li>\n
              • Demeaning, name-calling, character assassination, lying, cheating, self-dealing, self-aggrandizement, not allowing others to speak, demanding loyalty, being disloyal, requiring sycophancy, etc. are all forms of disrespect and excludes the person behaving that way from being called a leader.<\/li>\n
              • We can hold opposing points of view and have disagreements and treat each other with respect. True leaders demonstrate respect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
