It doesn’t matter if you’re at the bottom or top of the career ladder, you need to be respected by your colleagues and it’s important. Respect is not something that is given, it is earned. You can use these simple tricks to become the person everyone admires.

1. Become an inclusive person

It’s especially important to focus on inclusivity in our conscious minds. Do not take the credit by yourself. You have to consider your colleagues.

2. Practice what you preach

Always make a conscious effort to practice what you preach. This practice makes it easier for you to achieve excellence.

3. Understand your colleague’s situation

By understanding where others are coming from and respecting yourself first and foremost, you can command the respect of others. When you know how to admit when you’re wrong, you gain admiration.

4. Talk less. Listen more.

No one wants to be the loudest person in the room. You never want to be in the middle of office politics, but being aware of where you stand and how you fit in the office ecosystem is equally important.

5. Show confidence

It’s simple. Studies show that if you exude confidence, you will be admired by more people. Be confident and the rest will follow.

6. Always show courtesy

Clean up after yourself, be on time, finish your projects by their deadlines, and be kind to others. Show gratitude to others through simple acts of kindness, like wishing someone a happy birthday or making an extra pot of coffee for a colleague who needs it.

7. Trust yourself

Studies show that self-trust can make you more admired by others. The people who garner the most admiration are those who know how to admit when they’re wrong.
