In this short instructional monologue, Shanli Liu emphasizes that a manager’s ability to earn employee respect begins with self‑respect. She argues that respecting oneself is measured by keeping the promises one makes to oneself, and that this internal consistency directly translates to external credibility. Employees, she says, respect leaders who do what they say they will do, follow through on commitments, and avoid making empty promises. The speaker outlines a two‑step reflective process: first, assess whether you respect yourself by honoring your own commitments; second, ensure that your employees can observe this behavior, thereby building their respect for you.

Here's how to get your employees to respect you. You have to be able to look in the mirror and say, do I respect myself? And to what extent? Because the respect for oneself is directly correlated with the amount of promises that you make and hold to yourself. And so it's the same for employees. Employees respect people who do what they say they're going to do, who follow through with their word, and who aren't just putting stuff out there and then not following through. And so first you have to ask yourself, do I respect myself? Am I upholding my own promises that I make to myself? And then second to that is, do my employees see that I'm doing so?
