Six Ways To Earn Respect At Work

Pay Attention To Your Title

Don't be fooled, title matters, says career consultant Emily Bennington, author of Who Says It's A Man's World: The Girls' Guide To Corporate Domination. Right or wrong, your title is how people in and outside your organization judge your value to it, she says. Don't overlook it.


Pay Attention To Your Title



Know Your Responsibilities

Bennington says whether you're beginning a new position or have been in the same one for years, it's smart to have your job description and responsibilities in writing. "You need to be clear on precisely what your current role is, so that you can make a case for a promotion once you've mastered it."

Know What You Want Next

In order to advance, you have to know what you want next in your career. By outlining your future goals, you better understand what you're working towards and know what to ask for. Having a plan for your career projects confidence, organization and commitment.

Watch Your Image

You have to look the part to earn respect. "When your appearance is a wreck," says Bennington, "people automatically assume your whole life is a wreck."

Don't Break Confidences

"Keep the 'confidential' confidential," advises Bennington. Whether it's tightly held corporate news or a personal confidence, you’ll gain trust and respect by practicing discretion.

Have Patience

"When you're ambitious, it's frustrating to feel powerless over the timing of your own success," says Bennington. However, she recommends remaining patient (but not complacent) with the corporate process of advancement, showing that you're willing to put the time in and have respect for the bigger picture. Furthermore, "any decision made out of impatience, usually turns out to be the wrong one."
