You have to earn respect. Just like you judge others by their actions, your managers, supervisors, and line employees are judging you by your actions. And nobody is going to go that extra step, exert that degree of energy if you are not respected. A lot of little things. It's easy to criticize.
Any fool can do that.
What is hard is picking them up and making them feel good. That takes skill - real skill. You're on the same page with your people. Like your automobile, your wheels are balanced and aligned. Now it's easy to sit down with your general manager, and then with your department heads and finally with your employees and talk about your goals, your vision and the future.
