I prescribe to the view that respect cannot be demanded, it must be earned. Thinking that you "deserve" respect is a path to unhappiness and frustration. Instead, I recommend taking a proactive approach to earning respect that is based on the elements of my Knowing Assistant Framework:

- Knowing yourself

- Knowing your Power Skills

- Knowing your job

- Knowing your boss

- Knowing your organisation

You can read more about the Knowing Assistant Framework on my website myeacareer.com

In this episode I share 3 strategies for building respect that I've read about in a brilliant book by Peggy Vasquez "Not Just An Admin". I can highly recommend picking up a copy of this excellent personal development resource.

I also mention Lois P. Frankel's book "Nice Girls Still Don't Get The Corner Office".
