Disagree vs Disrespect

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with a plan, a person, an institution, etc.  There is however something wrong with disrespecting them.

This morning while following an email exchange I was shocked on how disrespectful an employee was to the board she serves.  Being disrespectful is never okay.  The next time you feel entitled to be so remember this one important fact…  When you are disrespectful it is a reflection on you, not the recipient.

The resolution to any disagreement and/or difference lies in actively and respectfully engaging.  It is our differences in outlooks and opinions that create groundwork for grander pursuits.
