Respect

Respect will take you a long way in life.  If you have respect for people, they are more than likely to follow your leadership.  If you have respect for your kids even while being a disciplinarian, they will not rebel against your rules.  Respect shows that you have professionalism, and people won't mind working for you or attending your ministry.  Too many times those in ministry don't respect those who they have the rule over.  People can't receive the teaching that they need if they are not present for the teaching.

Students want teachers to respect them and teachers want students to respect them.  Granted there will always be those who receive respect and they don't know how to be respectful.  The Bible says that God had respect unto Israel (Exodus 2:25).  If you will notice, most mega ministries and large corporations have people in leadership who are very respectful.  They understand how competitive it is out there and they are looking for an edge. Focus on respect this week and see what benefits you receive from it.
