Personal statement:In my life I have worked in several very different areas and have always found respect to be an underlying and fundamental need in any contact between people and especially colleagues. What I found most immanently noticable was the importance of the personal interaction with each other. How do I treat someone with respect, how and when do I
feel respect towards someone, how can I evoke respect in someone? Respect and respectful interaction, the feeling of personal self-worthiness and our own ideals or our perception of life determine our mental attitude towards our fellow men and life in general. If a person feels well treated, is challenged but not overwelmed and is met with approval and courtesy, he or she can show exceptional performance. To be able to approach a task with a positve attitude, feel 120% commitment and still have fun - who wouldn't like that feeling? A key to this positive emotional complex is respect. There seems to be an enormous potential if one considers how easy it could actually be....
To find a key to motivation, satisfaction and commitment - this is what I set out to do! To face up to this challenge, to explore
respect and to increase one's own potential - that's what I am looking forward to doing!
