Graziadio School Professor Writes on Achievement of Respect over Likability
Dr. Bernice Ledbetter of Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management recently wrote a piece for the Huffington Post which addressed the idea of respect vs. likability in the world of business.
Ledbetter teaches Organizational Theory and Management at Graziadio. She writes, “I’ve learned the hard way that being well liked doesn’t mean that others will adopt your point of view or vision. Being respected is the key.” The article focuses on gaining the support of key stakeholders when trying to instate new ideas, concepts or practical changes in the workplace.
