I did however spot one glaring correlations when reviewing my lists.

The most interesting correlation revealed in my personal lists was that the more respect I had for someone, the easier it was for me to identify who they respected.

Who are the folks on the top of your own respect list?  Mine includes but is not limited to:

Who are your most respected connections and why?  What other correlations do you see when you start writing them down as I did?

Try making your own respected lists for the peers and colleagues in your life and leave a comment sharing what you found!
