This is a post that definitely applies in our lives. We need to treat everyone we come in contact with the same way, fairly. That is right, everyone from our most cherished loved ones to the people who we despise need to be treated the same way. Why? It makes each of us a better person when we do this. I will admit, this is another area in my life where I struggle to practice what I am preaching. I try, buy Darcy tells me my body language gives me away when I am around people who, lets just say rub me the wrong way.
It is something that I am working on, and have been for quite a while. I can remember my mother telling me the best way to get back and someone who wronged me was to "kill them with kindness". The Bible teaches us that we "must turn the other cheek". Still another proverb tells us "the best revenge is a life well lived." This concept isn't something necessarily comes out of the Old West, rather something that is found in all of the religions that I have studied.
Why do we need to treat everyone the same way? It is in our best interests both as human beings and as business people! This World is crying ou for Human Compassion, and a great place to start is by treating everyone the way that we treat the people who we love! In this lifetime we may never know what caused this person or that person to act the way that they do. What we do know is that treating them with respect, dignity and showing that you can look past their deedsk, words and actions eventually they will come around. If they don't come around, so what! You're a better person for your effort!
How does this apply in business? I am reminded of a quote by former NFL quarterback, Jim McMahon, "I don't have to like them, but if they can get open and can catch the ball, you can bet I am going to throw it to them". That is how we should look at people, we don't know where our business sources may come from, so why not attempt to work with them. I know that you're saying, but there are people who are impossible to work with. I agree, to me these are the ones that either can't get open, nor can they catch the ball. These are the people who after treating them well, they still are impossible, so you refer them to someone who may mesh better with them.
This is most likely my last post in this series, unless I think of something outside of my original list. I do hope that you have enjoyed this series. I also hope that this series has caused someone other than myself to stop and think about the things that you can do a better job of in their lives.
