All leaders highly depend upon people who follow them. Without followership there is no such thing as leadership. How and which kind of followership can be won, however, varies considerably depending upon the approach leaders employ. A leadership which rests upon positional powers, such as reward and coercive power, might, for instance, be effective in the short run, but it is often not very sustainable. In such cases, people follow only within the prescribed boundaries and only when control mechanisms are in effect. In contrast, in the present book, the author presents a concept of „respected leaders“. Here, respected leaders are conceptualized as individuals whom other people like to follow. People are open to their leadership because they see such individuals personally legitimized to be in a position of leadership.
Due to the novelty of the topic, the purpose of this book is more manifold than just providing an account on who will be respected as a leader. The chapters subsequently explore: What respect is, how important employees consider different facets of respect at work, which kind of leaders employees respect, and what that has to do with employees‘ self-concepts (as potential leaders).

The method:At first the relevance and the up-to-dateness of the topic will be briefly reported. Afterwards, the term of respect will be explored in a theoretical part from different perspectives by introducing and analysing different appendages who dealt with the concept of respect before. will be defined more exactly. This should lead to the development of a specific, clear and usable concept of respect. After that, the just mentioned theoretical part will be combined with a practical part in which the observation of five lessons will be presented and analysed. Finally it will be attempted to draw a guideline for teachers which should help to reduce outcomes and cognitions into practice.
