Do Nice People Finish Last or Best? | Christine Porath | TEDxUniversityofNevada

[bhatian]

I was once an employee who witnessed too many bully leaders and I said to myself when I become an employer I’ll create non-bully environment at work and today I managed to do so 👍

Kindness and boundaries. Together they are powerful.

I’ve listened this ted talk over 10 times since I found it on Podcast.

“Who you choose to be means everything. “
This sentence became my no. 1 rule for my life.

[jasonleblanc]

When you’re truly respected, the team members don’t want to let you down. Mistakes will always happen but you can be confident that they will do their best, not just enough to get a pay cheque.

[Nadiipp]

How we are treated and how others treat us, undermines trust or builds trust. Being respectfully empathetic with honour makes the impact, creates the dignified atmosphere, for building a high trust environment. A call to action for developing virtues, the quality of our character! Much gratitude Mz Porath.

Inspiring TED talk by Christine 👏👏. I experienced incivility in my last job. I worked so hard that I gave it all the workplace was toxic, they didn't recognise my hard work . I didn't feel valued or respected, eventually I quit the job . Initially I thought to myself " did I do the right thing by quitting ?". Turned out that I did the right thing by few weeks, I got a new job with a reputed company forward... 2 years later ...., I am still very valued and respected in my current workplace is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

I am incredibly happy to know that there is already a legit proof that the quality often neglected and underestimated in the work place, business, corporate world or any industry is actually the most essential element for success.

Outspoken and aggressive leadership will turn heads but being nice, respect and making people feel they're being understood will hit every individual homerun to their hearts and this will make them feel good and motivated to give their best.

It's true that a true mark of an outstanding leader is that they will NEVER leave you with a feeling of their greatness but instead they will always leave you with the feeling of your greatness.

One of the best Ted talk I've experienced!

This is on my 'Watch this every Monday" list.

I agree respect and civility are not just nice to show and have but they are critical. But it requires us to build up our mindfulness in every interaction but it's worth it. We can do it. Thanks Christine."Be tough on standards and tender to people"

[YTBraN]

This has to be one of the best most inspirational talks I've ever heard! This video should have much more than 38, 000 views. It can only bring out the best in people!

I spent the last 20+ years of my life living this as my personal truth. I was suffering at my last job, it was so hard but everyday I still was the first on there the last to leave, I was kind and loving to everyone. I worked so hard to help everyone and spread happiness and love and I thought I was fighting with love and kindness and love. I was let go without ever being written up or in any trouble at all based on rumors from a small amount of people who didnt like me or work directly with me at all. My hard work and love and kindness were never recognized at all, and my silence about my treatment just made it worse. Now I cant even find a job because my only job in the field is my only work experience. It is heartbreakingly true that being good to others in todays society just does nothing at all. My kindness is sitting here watching youtube instead of working.

[cathyarnett]

This is one of the most timely, kind and thought provoking of any TED talk( and I e heard many(- thank you!! And every nurse I know will agree... bravo!

[ebooksmaster]

Not sure what y'all's work environment is like, but everyone is very respectful to each other already at my job, and I interact with hundreds of people at work. The challenge for all of us is more learning the technical information, to perform better. There really doesn't seem to be a need to emphasize the social skills as much, since everyone seems to handle that ok.

[sylviaa]

Great video. This resonates with me. I have seen such uncivilized behaviour (blatant rudeness, the constant undermining, use of sarcasm in feedback) in the past. This especially happens when a individual is overwhelmed and can't handle stress so they feel the need to unload their frustration on others. Eventually I just got tired of becoming a carrier of all this toxic negativity and it was affecting my health and family.

[PinkYellowGreen]

Good question! Sometime they don’t finish at all💔

[ediegoldberg]

Great job Christine! This is such an important topic. Thank you for getting the message out.

[tdesq.]

Brilliant Woman! I can personally attest to the proposition that genuine Respect and Confidence brings out the absolute best in us. It's HUGE!
Great Talk! Thanks!

[Charlie-ytiy]

I need to share this with everyone-




I wonder how students would change- even just by a little bit - If they were shown this video?
Maybe that one girl will stop being negative.
Maybe he'll stop underestimating me.
This talk is powerful and makes you think- I should be civil.
This is a great lesson for everyone to see.

[sameerkumar]

For me, most persuasive and game changing talk in Ted history... Awesome and God Bless You !!!
