©2012 Edington Associates2 Respect for and by Self, Others and the Organization In a stress-producing world, where it seems we can’t control very much. We each can impact our own Health and Lifestyle. And when we do, it makes a difference to others, our family and to the organization. Each manager should take a minute out of each day to look into the faces of the people we manage. And to realize that they are our most important resource. Each organization should provide supportive leadership, and a supportive environment, climate, and culture. And when they do it makes a difference to everyone in the organization.
