Learn the basics about business honorifics. As the basics of honorifics, let's first learn about their role. The role of honorifics is to show respect to the other party and clarify the other party's position.

Honor eats control for breakfast But what is it? Two powerful people working to meet one another’s needs and the needs of the situation. - A great definition of honor by Danny Silk 3 elements of honor - Honor acknowledges that people are powerful. People are powerful because they can’t be controlled beyond the control they give to others. If people can’t be controlled then encouragement and empowerment are more proper than fear and coercion. - Honor values a person’s gifts even when they are different than you own. Most people only value what they see of themselves in others. True honor looks for the differences in others and appreciates them. - Honor calls others into their potential Honor sees what people can become and treats them in view of their full potential not where they currently are. Acknowledge you are a powerful person by honoring others rather than controlling them. Call out anyone on LinkedIn who you believe honors well!

What is Honor? Here's a simple definition for you to consider. The Honor/Shame worldview can feel very mystical to outsiders. But at the heart of Honor is a concept that we can all rally behind - human value.

Honor has a disposition. Honor has its peculiar attributes and uniqueness. Honor comes with a silent realization of value and public communication of respect for the value. You are designed to honor the dignity of humanity. Beyond this, you are to honor some special people because of the roles that they play in your life. Honor will never be forgotten. Honor never forgets. Honor has sound memories and sound judgment. Honor attracts honor. Honor attracts favor. Honor attracts blessings. Genuine honor for the sacredness of human lives brings development. May you communicate honor, and may you receive honor. You are honorable.

Power Word of the Week: HONOR This week, let's dive into the essence of honor and its transformative power. From honoring the people who lift us up to cherishing the moments that shape us, let's celebrate the beauty of honoring the people and things in our lives that truly matter, including the people that fight for our freedom everyday. LifeBites question: What do you honor in your life?

Being a person of honor is one of the most important things in deal-making.

Hey Leaders, some quick thoughts about honor. Or as my International friends might write: honour. I like the second spelling because it includes U (or you). Something we may be lacking in our society today. As the Leadership Professor of Practice at The Citadel, I have the privilege of working with the college's three key values of Honor, Duty, and Respect. And as the linked article outlines, Honor is something you give others, duty is the action of honor and respect is the reflection of selfless service and leadership. As a retired military person, I take the idea of honor seriously as I hope you do as well. The citizen trusts those trained in the ability to use force to use it in the right way and for the right reasons. A key canon in this trust is the sense of honor we share as a military profession and our dedication to the Constitution and our oath of office. Our question today is your honor, what it is, how your acts reflect honor and why it might be important. We'll answer these in reverse order. When it comes to the 'why,' of honor, check out my friend Ancella Livers article below -- she writes about why honor is important. And I don't think I could have written anything better -- her outline of what honor represents and how her father was role model of honor is worth noting. And that bring us to 'how.' How are you a person of honor? A person others might use as a role model of honorable behavior. One leader I admire demonstrated honor when he came to our team with a tough problem and was courageous in his vulnerability of being unable to solve the problem alone. He honored us through his trust and listening as we worked together to solve a difficult international issue. And now the what --- what IS honor? There are many definitions and many ideas about what honor is. At West Point they use the adage that 'honor is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.' Taking that one step further, honor might be doing the right thing even when it hurts -- our ego, our bottom line, our perceptions? For more on what honor (or honour) might be, here is an interesting link with more information: https://lnkd.in/gvdD-YCX Think about the bosses you worked with and did not like. They probably displayed dishonorable behavior. Not anything that was what we like to call illegal, immoral, or present a safety hazard, but micro-actions reflecting arrogance, mistrust, misogeny, racism, or even poor listening and actions. Knowing this, you now have a decision to make. Act like the leaders who decry honor or be the best person and leader you can be, acting with honor around others. So help me out. How do you live with honor and what examples have you seen that reflect a sense of honor or an absence of honor. I look forward to your insights and welcome your thoughts.

Happy Pride, y'all. Pride is officially the month of June, but in truth it's all year long. We may celebrate it in different ways, but it's all tied to the freedom to live our lives openly and honestly. So be who you are for your priiiiiiiide! And if you don't know, here's the video: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsJZM

How to use Japanese honorific titles? I used to get these titles mixed up quite often, which one is used for females and which one is for males, and in which case they are appropriate to use? Too many rules to remember but I’m here to the rescue (haha). A disclaimer that there are more titles out there but the following are the common ones that are most likely to be encountered in the daily context: 1. SAN (さん) This is the most common honorific that can be literally translated to “Mr.” or “Mrs.” in English is appropriate to refer to anyone regardless of gender. So to be on the safe side, just go for “san” whenever you’re in doubt of which title to use. This one reminds me of how annoying titles are used in my mother tongue where you can unintentionally offend someone due to the absence of a neutral title like “san” ( ; ω ; ) 2. Sama (さま) Sama is a title of respect and a formal version of san that is often found in business context. You can use this one to refer to people of higher ranks that you’re not close to. Names of gods can also be followed by this title. Never add this suffix to your own name or else you will be seen as crazy. 3. Kun (くん) Kun is an informal title preferably used by people of senior status towards a younger male or a boy child. You’re well advised to use this to address people whom you’re close with. 4. Chan (ちゃん) Chan is equivalent to kun but applied for girl children and junior females. A fun fact: the “s” sound in “san” is replaced by “ch” because it’s considered cuter in Japan. Image: Pinterest
