We all know what Respect means. But what does it mean to you as you navigate your professional roles, responsibilities, interactions, and career aspirations? Saving Changes...

Rami: Thank you. Very succinct. Absolutely agree. Respect the product, others, and ourselves. These are not always the easy things to do - back to the tie with courage!
Alexandre: Thank you, for your response. Agree, there is a level of respect that should come automatically, like benefit of the doubt, but you also mention to be respected, we must respect others first - a bit of a conundrum. Chicken or the egg. Ineresting insight and perspective on the impact from culture.
Thanks, everyone!

This not only ties to courage but also to Focus, Commitment and Openness:
Courage to do the right thing
Focus to deliver the right product
Commitment to the team and value delivery
Openness to accept others and their opinion

Thanks, Rami. I don't disagree!
When I posed the question, I was interested in the directions community members would take the answer. Not sure if you are tieing to the Scrum values, but certainly, it is interesting how these all can come together, though the context and definitions are a bit different in Scrum specifically (I'm sure you know, still wanted to highlight)
Thanks, again!

Thank You - Of course the context and definition in Scrum is a bit different and I wasn't trying to tie it to Scrum at all.
While those values of Respect, Openness, Courage, Commitment and Focus, are mentioned as Scrum values, they are not specific to Scrum. They are core ethics of any successful workplace.
Imagine a work place without those values ? It will be complete chaos and a recipe for a failure.

I would say respect should start with self-respect, respect for your own values and understand your bias.
Then you can consider respect for others, their values, belief, differences, etc.
Then respect projects, products can now be considered. Saving Changes...
The easiest and best approach to respect is to treat everybody the same and as a project manager team members will become use to your approach and behave likewise. If you encourage hard work and determination in your team then team members will realise that the only way to get on you good side is to work hard, be determined and also treat everybody the same. It also removes brown nosing and blackmailing as office politics tools from the team and the unnecessary and unwanted attention that it bring; makes the team focused on the job at hand so they can get on with what their paid to do and go home at the end of the day.

@Vincent Thank you. Absolutely. Self-respect is significantly important. And it is okay to focus on oneself while focusing on others.
@Daire Thank you. I agree that it is important for respect toward others should come from a place o integrity. We can only hope others act in the same manner. Saving Changes...
Firstly I really like the look of your reply style Andrew, bold font namereply Did you do a ctrl b when typing in? Am curious it looks nice, did not think its possible, lets see if it works for me after I click post reply.
Anyways back on track, I concur with Vincent and few others that respect starts with ownself, from there on naturally it translates how one deals with surroundings no matter where he/she is, hopefully over lifetime, if one’s health permits. Saving Changes...
The way to do it, Suzi, is to use HTML tags. At the start of the boldfaced element, you put <b>. At the end of the boldfaced element, you put </b>. You can also do italics the same way, just replace the b for an i.
