Ouch! This comment hit home. For most of my co-workers I have unqualified respect, but, if I am honest, not for all. I sometimes catch myself doing an internal eyeroll after a colleague's remark (or I wait until they leave, and then I really roll my eyes, sigh, scoff, etc.). I should not try to hide it: they can sense the lack of respect anyway.
I found it useful to make a list of the qualities I respect in co-workers and qualities I don't. It lead me back to my core values, and that lead me to think about the core values of those people for whom I have less respect. Why do they think this way? Why do they teach the way they do?
Fran was, of course, already there. Later in the talk she said, "Good leaders frame for others where their effectiveness is coming from." Much better than rolling the eyes.
