The hierarchy of the workplace is a fascinating thing. For some, their rise is a result of steady, quality work that is rewarded by promotion through the ranks. For others, hierarchy is viewed as a maniacal game of strategy. The farther they are promoted, the better the 'parachute' is on the way out the door. For the rest of us, it is truly only a mindset. Work provides only a base for our lives outside of work.
The reality is we all put our trousers on one leg at a time and bleed the same color, red.
Whether we drive a Yugo or a Lamborghini, you are only as important as you are in your own mind. Respect is earned through your actions, not through your paycheck or title.
Businesses are only as good as the people who manage them. If managers are always seeking the next nifty, shining business model that promises to save the company and put the profits through the roof the end result is nothing. But when managers use common sense, respect and hard work, their employees can see and respect that no matter the out come.
Countries have been won or lost based on the respect or lack of due to the actions and behaviors of their respective hierarchies. The same can be said about companies.
