How we gain (and lose) respect - the hidden secrets and definitions in leadership

Описание: Many leaders think respect comes from authority, likability, or confidence. It doesn’t.

Respect is built through predictable behavior anchored to principle — and it’s lost through small, repeatable contradictions.

In this video, we break down:
• What respect actually is (and what it isn’t)
• The behaviors that quietly earn respect over time
• How leaders unintentionally erode respect without realizing it
• Why disrespect always turns into performance loss

This isn’t about slogans or personality traits.
It’s about patterns people experience — especially under pressure.

If you lead people, manage teams, or carry responsibility for outcomes, this video will change how you think about respect, trust, and authority.

🔥 LEADERSHIP UNDER PRESSURE | COACHING FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGERS & TEAMS 🔥
Welcome to my channel—your go-to source for real-world leadership coaching grounded in battlefield-tested experience and business acumen. I'm a retired Marine Corps officer who led combat operations in Ramadi, Iraq, one of the most chaotic and high-stakes environments in modern warfare. Today, I coach executives, managers, and rising leaders to thrive in high-pressure, high-stakes environments—without losing their focus, confidence, or team trust.

📌 WHO I AM I’m a leadership coach with 21 years of service as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, including frontline combat in Ramadi during some of the most intense urban fighting of the Iraq War. Since transitioning to the business world, I’ve held roles as an engineering leader, project manager, sales director, and executive coach. I’ve coached leaders in larger companies, fast-growing startups, and mission-critical teams.
