The Power of Respect by Deborah Norville

What a refreshing book about accountability. I mean really, how much does it cost to just be polite? Respect is simply being polite to others. The Power of Respect by Deborah Norville centers in on our culture’s misguided notion that we are only responsible to be nice to ourselves. Ms. Norville does a great job of showing it truly pays to be respectful. Every day in our society we see the degradation of mutual respect, whether it be in the service industry, schools, or public service. This book provides actual examples of how a simple kind gesture can impact leaders, educators, and students and permeate through communities. The Power of Respect reveals that each and every person is accountable for his or her own choices. The secret to earning respect is being accountable. As revealed in this book, respect comes via accountability which is achieved through self-sacrifice. A lot less of me plus a little more of you equals RESPECT! This is a very simple formula for success which Ms. Norville lays out precisely in this book. This should be required reading material for employees by employers everywhere.
