My dear friends,
As HR Professionals occupying a pivotal position in any organization performing important roles, we must enjoy the support of our subordinates as also that of colleagues in other departments across the organization.
This unconditional support can be possible only when we enjoy the respect of those we interact day in and out. Right from the punitive Personnel Department era to the present day Human Resources Development culture prevailing in all organizations, HR professionals are the most blamed lot for many obvious reasons.
The position one occupies may fetch him/her respect across the organization whereas the reality is different. Many people tend to show overt respect as a matter of routine and custom and not necessarily the moral respect. Under the circumstances how can we command respect from others and why people tend to show scant respect is discussed by me in my article:
Respect from Subordinates - Do You Command or Demand? <link updated to site home> ( Search On Cite | Search On Google )
Please read and opine, as usual. Healthy comments from those in the field will throw more light on the discussion.

Dear Sir,
I read your article and i totally agree with the lines "Those who prefer to project humane touch, positive attitude and decent behavior with excellent colleague-ship than their qualifications, knowledge, skills and position they occupy win over the hearts of their subordinates and command respect among them".
Respect has to earned by the way we conduct ourselves at the work place.

Good Afternoon
Sir
We all want the respect of our coworkers but it doesn't come automatically no matter what your position is or how many initials you have after your name. Respect is not a right, it is an earned privilege, that can be broken in an instant with a bad choice. We all have horror story about co-workers that we, ourselves, don’t respect and people will be quick to tell you why they do not respect others.
We cannot demand respect, we cannot force respect. The line is coming from a place of integrity. Doing the right thing. If you always come from a place of integrity, people may not always agree with you, people may not always like you, you may not always be right, but you will have the peace of mind that comes from trying your best and making the best decision you could at the time with the information you had available.

My friend,,
I appreciate your views which is a fact.
Christ was crucified, Mohammed Nabhi was sentenced to death who ran for life from Mekka to Madhina, Gandhi was assassinated and many such instances are there.
When our virtues and values are strong, these minuscule number of people can do nothing against us. They may be enjoy temporary success whereas we will win finally.

Dear Rajni,
I am sure you have watched Devil wears Prada. I have been through your situation, where a junior bullied me. Sounds pathetic, here's how it happened. The person was a pure Machiavelli , would act dormant and docile in front of power centres and torment me to my core in their absence. She would even go to work on off-days only to check into my network and access my data. She kept a record of my faults so neatly , that I didnt even have the option to show, how my privacy was running low. She wouldnt share any information or train me on what I need to deliver. I had to built the entire KT, to document how many ways was she hiding information.
Firefighting was all I did, till every details of her error started coming to me and was resolved by me. Eventually, my seniors noticed my effort and her dishonesty. Yes, I was promoted and she left no sooner.
Respect is for equals and evolved ones, and not for the ones who are insecure. I do have many co-workers from different organizations I worked with, who remain my angels till date.

Thank you Nabodita & Saibhakta for your precious support..
I will do the same as Nabodita did...
Your advice is gud Saibhakta, But i think to change employer in 6months it may spoil my profile performance. n of course another employer will ask me the reason to change the employer in 6months ...it could be difficult to answer them,that what was happened n for what i need to change..
