TRIPLE III TIME – RESPECT:  Common Sense Professionalism

Providing the best instruction to my American Government & Politics classes has become a little more challenging this semester.  With the upcoming election now just a week away…the questions and discussion about each candidate at every level of government…has become more direct and intense for all the right reasons.

As you can guess we talk about:

  • Political party differences
  • Personal positions on issues
  • Priorities for our country/state
  • Information shared by candidates and their methods of communication

and yes multiple points-of-view are openly expressed.  Regardless of their beliefs and attitudes…the single, most, important position I require each student to understand, accept and utilize is:

RESPECT:  Common Sense Professionalism

Why is this the most critical lesson to be learned??

IMG_1776Well I let them know that in politics…or on the job…or on personal life issues, the individual that follows a RESPECT:  Common Sense Professionalism code of conduct will most often be the more successful person.  And regardless of your role as a leader, co-worker, colleague, friend, neighbor, student, teacher, political candidate and/or life partner; if you appropriately show a professional level of common sense respect to everyone you interact with…the right kind of respect will be returned.

The best part of this week’s TRIPLE III TIME message:  RESPECT:  Common Sense Professionalism is that YOU own its potential.  YOU control YOUR potential to offer the best form of professional respect.  So use that control/potential wisely everyday…EVERYDAY!  The positive, progressive, professional returns will be unlimited.
