One On One Mentoring

The dictionary definition of respect is: “the condition of being esteemed or honored.” Many “want-to-be” men try to use bullying and aggressive behavior to generate respect. But instead of producing esteem and honor, more often than not they produce fear and intimidation in others. While fear and intimidation may at times be effective in getting one’s own way, they typically lead more to underlying resentment rather than authentic respect. Real men understand that to gain respect from others one must first be willing to give respect to others.

From early on men are taught incorrectly, that real men are independent especially when it comes to dealing with responsibilities. We are mistakenly conditioned to think that if we can’t do it for ourselves and by ourselves, we have failed as men. From that system of thought emerges the stereotype of the “self-made man.” The man who has succeeded by pulling himself up by his own boot straps. The man who is bullet-proof, mistake proof, and completely unequipped and unwilling to receive help from others he sees as less than himself. This kind of thinking causes men to take on too much responsibility in way too much isolation, often resulting too much stress and the development of harmful coping mechanisms like (drinking, drugs, violence, sexual misconduct, over eating, gambling, etc.)

Real men on the other hand see life as a “team sport.” They understand that it is the best team in life that wins and not just the team that has the best individal talent. They seek out others to partner with where responsibility is concerned. They empower others on their team at home, at work and in the community to achieve more as a team than any one of them could achieve individually. done.http://manupuniversity.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/real-men-and-handling-responsibility/
