Five easy ways to

show your
gratitude and
respect for others:
Listen
I know it sounds easy, but listening--truly
listening--can be one of the hardest skills to master.
If you want a person to know you respect him or her,
then tune into what that person is saying.  Look
them in the eye, put down your cell phone, and offer
feedback when necessary.  Everyone appreciates
the person who willing listens to them and shows
genuine interest in what they have to say.
Encourage
If you've ever had a bad day, then you know the
power a little encouragement can have. We've all
had moments when we need someone to tell us,
"don't worry, things will work out." It might not
seem like much at the time, but that person will
remember that you took the time and interest in
their feelings and well-being. A smile and uplifting
word can truly brighten someone's day.
Congratulate
If someone does a great job, let them know
about it. In fact, let everyone know about it.
Openly congratulate someone for a job well
done, especially if you're a manager. 
Employees will work harder and happier
knowing their manager has a mutual respect
for them and is willing to express praise and
gratitude when it's deserved.
Be Helpful
If you find a friend or coworker in a jam, be
willing to help them if at possible. Not to say
you should take on half their project, but
offering some advice or throwing in a bit of
your time will mean a lot. If that friend or
coworker has helped you in the past, then
returning the favor will be a nice way to show
both your respect and gratitude.
Say Thank You
I'm sure this one seems like common sense, but
many people just forget to say thank you or at least
forget how to say it with sincerity. A thank you can be
as small as two words or as much as buying
someone a gift; nevertheless, if the action is not done
with 100% sincerity then it is wasted.  Make sure
people know you appreciate them and their actions. 
Simply saying it in front of someone else can make a
big impact.
