Rich DeVos, CEO of Orlando Magic, says this about respect:
I built my whole business on respect for people. I build them up, not chew them out. I always believe that if you show respect, you get respect. Every person is a human being created by God, with a purpose and a place in life. If we operate by this standard, we dignify other human beings by treating them as we ourselves wish to be treated. Respect for others is the most essential trait a leader must possess.
