Since I answered the question of – What profession do you admire most and why? With this post “Professional Admiration” last year, I’ll go into another slant on it.

What earned my admiration over my work experience. A few off the top of my head.

• I admired those who shared their knowledge and expertise.
• I admired those who pulled more than their own weight when needed.
• I admired honesty.
• I admired those who could communicate well with those above, beside and below them.
• I admired truth to power. Those who could step up and point out painful realities.
• I admired those who showed up every day.
• I admired good leadership and if it made mistakes to correct course.
• I admired those who could laugh at funny things or times.
• I admired those who gave honest and insightful reviews.
• I admired meetings where people came prepared and were inclusive of everyone.
• I admired those who were also interested in my goals.
• I admired leadership that could put teams of people together and help make them successful.
