7 Forms of Respect - a Conversation with Dr. Julie Pham

A Leadership Beyond

On this episode of A Leadership Beyond podcast, we had a conversation with Dr. Julie Pham, author of the book, 7 forms of respect.

Julie Pham was born in Vietnam, came to the United States with her parents as a boat person. That is a strong part of her identity, and she learned early both the challenges and rewards of being bicultural. She had to adapt to being Vietnamese at home, American at school and work. Added to this is her experience studying and working in the UK, Germany, and Vietnam. These experiences have influenced and shaped the way Julie thinks about respect.

Julie launched research around how we like to be treated at work. The word “respect” kept showing up and she realized that people clearly sought respect, but there was fuzziness around what it is. This led her to create a new framework, 7 forms of respect™ to help us navigate gaining a deeper understanding of one another. This framework is highly actionable at the individual, team, organizational, and even societal level.

7 forms of respect™ is built on a foundation of sound research including focus groups, interviews, surveys, and personal experience. The real plus is that Julie presents in the form of conversation, just the way our community prefers. Adrienne and Tom left the conversation wanting to learn more.
