Be Sincere

When you speak from the heart it shows your sincerity. Then when you stand behind those words with actions, people show you respect. 

Learn to cultivate sincerity among your friends, at work, and in all parts of your life.

Listen and Learn

Another great way to earn respect from others is to do more active listening. Don't be in such a hurry to respond that you listen only to respond. 

Good listening will ultimately make people more interested in what you have to say. Learn to listen, and cultivate the reputation as a good listener.

Compliment The Work Of Others

Recognizing the work of others is a sure way to earn respect because it shifts your focus to the community rather than yourself. 

Try to make it a point to compliment the notable accomplishments of others. To earn more respect from others,  learn to acknowledge others and praise their achievements.

Sympathize With Others

Showing empathy to others involves being attentive to the needs of the people around you, and shows them that you care about their well-being. 

If you can anticipate someone's emotional needs, you will be looked at as being caring and thoughtful.

Keep In Touch

A huge way to gain lots of respect is by keeping in touch with others just to let them know that you are thinking of them. 

People are busy, so when you take the time to call, text, or message someone, it keeps you connected. It's OK to call just to say "Hello,"

Do What You Say You'll Do

Do what you say you'll do. Break this rule, and you will be labeled as flaky and unreliable. But when you want to be respected, come through on your commitments.

Call when you say you will, finish your work assignments on time, and stand by your word. Develop a reputation for keeping your word, and you will be well respected.

Offer To Help, Even If You Don't Need To

Volunteering your time and talents to a cause without being asked is a way to be seen as respectable and reliable. 

Make sure you are doing it, not for recognition, but because you really want to help in any way you can.

Go Above And Beyond

Anyone can do the bare minimum to get by, but the one who goes above and beyond is the one who gets respected the most. 

There is always an opportunity to do more than what is expected of you. Only the exceptional people turn that opportunity into a reputation that earns respect.

Let the world know that you are one of those people.  

Learn To Anticipate The Needs Of Others

If you've ever worked as an apprentice, you learn that the most important thing is to anticipate what your mentor needs and supply it, even before they ask. 

Taking the initiative to make someone's life a little easier will set you apart. When you do things without being asked, you stand out even more.

Be Humble

There is nothing wrong with promoting your skills and talents, but what's even more impressive is when your work speaks for itself. 

Show what you can do first, talk about it later. This keeps you humble. Let other people talk about how you have solved their problems. Let them brag about you.

Talk Less

You've heard the saying that the reason we have two ears and one mouth is because ... These days, everyone has an opinion about everything. Just because they are full of chatter doesn't mean you have to copy them. 

While other people are talking, sit back and listen to what they are saying. If you absolutely must, give your point of view, and listen some more.

Take Responsibility For Your Own Actions

Take responsibility for your own actions especially when you make a mistake. There is no such thing as perfect. 

We all make mistakes. Blaming others for our own misgivings will never win the respect of others. 

Own up to your mistakes and fix them quickly. 

Assert Yourself

Be assertive and speak up for the things you know in your heart are right. It may not be the popular opinion, but if it's right, speak up. 

You can still be polite, and courteous even while people are disagreeing with you. Be respectful in your delivery and people will respect you in return.
