7.The Law of Respect: People Naturally Follow Leaders Who Are Stronger Than Them.

Points of the Principle

The Law of Respect works when people are compelled to follow somebody who is

stronger than them. People have the instinct to recognize and follow leadership.

Leaders Who Lived Out the Law

Illiterate, underemployed, and possessing an unimpressive appearance, Harriet

Tubman, was a respected leader because she was fearless, strong, and has helped

hundreds escape slavery. People followed her because of her strong leadership.

Basketball coach Dean Smith and John Maxwell exemplify this law. They inspire

respect and loyalty among their followers.
