Ugh. I detest that phrase. :( It sounds so corporate.

  Doesn't sound corporate to me at all. Corporate to me is things like "increase synergy". Respecting the opportunities available to you by showing respect for your competitors who are just like you at the end of the day seems like a pretty real and relatable recommendation.

    If you need to remind yourself that you need to “respect the competition”, you’re probably a monopoly.

      i disagree - to me, "respect the competition" means don't grow complacent. ebay, for example, doesn't respect the competition (and has grown correspondingly complacent), and it's why sites like reverb are popping up and serving niches far better than ebay does.

      I think it's about cultivating a healthier mindset about why you develop products, in particular avoiding the trap of zero sum, win/lose thinking.
