Treat me like a king and I will treat you like an emperor

Title of this topic kind of crystallizes on how I am conditioned to behave. If someone encourages me and honestly appreciate what I am doing, I will go great lengths to pay the person back. Ditto with the team I work with. I pick and choose the team if I am allowed to. I do my best to encourage them, show them guidance and set them free. They always pay me back and stretch their limits to make things happen. These are ideal scenarios and have always worked for me when they happened.

I wish, life is so simple. I wish, I don't need to write anything more.

There are a few limitations with the core idea. Few questions:

1. What should I do if someone is not treating me with the respect I deserve?
2. What should I do when I see people working with me lose integrity?
3. What should I do when your respectful behavior is mistaken for easy to deal with?
4. How should I treat my team when I know that they are making mistakes which they can't see?
5. How do I deal with people who are emotional?

The answer can be easy if I answer "No" to the question "Do I care?" I believe majority of the scenarios, you don't need to worry so much.

In a few scenarios, where I want people to care, I need to deal with these sensitive situations with extreme caution. Following attributes are most important:

1. Develop ability to function well under pressure(crisis)
2. Practice patience and self-control under these extreme conditions

Solution will come automatically to you. For example, if some one is not treating me with the respect I deserve, I have to be patient and earn the respect through my actions and not words. Answer for all the questions start with I have to be patient and ........

Patience is the secret of success for many successful managers according to a Stanford university study. As a manager, you will be automatically treated like a king if you practice patience, otherwise, no matter how good you are you will not get the treatment you deserve.
