Find value in others just as you value yourself. Esteem others as you esteem yourself.
The effectiveness of a family, team, class, church, friends, and other groups correlates to how much the individual people esteem others.
David Lilienthal was commissioned after World War II to head up the Atomic Energy Commission. He brought together many brilliant people who were stars in their own rights and had many differences in perspective.
There was a tremendous amount of pressure to get going on all their objectives. Instead of diving right in David took several weeks for them to get to know each other, to value others as themselves.
The result was a highly effective group that was extremely creative, productive, and were able to resolve differences quickly.
That is the power of valuing others.
