How should we treat other people?
You may like me have been brought up with the expression “Do unto others as you would be done unto” in essence “Treat other people as you would like to be treated”
What about considering “Treat other people as THEY would like to be treated”
If you were upset, would being hugged by someone you hardly knew be a positive or negative thing? Some people would genuinely appreciate such a gesture and others would find it intrusive.
Next time you interact with a customer/client or colleague that you find quite difficult to connect with - think about how they greet you and how you greet them. Make an effort to observe what the interaction is and remember to “Treat them as THEY would like to be treated”
