Being feared and respected is very different to solely being feared.
And being respected without the element of being feared will never let you elicit the survival instincts in people,
necessary to lead them effectively.

When the two co-exist, it creates a synergy that constitutes a large part of what makes up leadership.
Leadership cannot exist without this synergy. Most men opt to being feared, because it is very difficult to be respected at the same time.
Here's how you attain both.

If you want to be feared, you need to first have your life sorted. You need have a purpose.
You need to know where you are, where you want to be, and a direction of how to get there.
Then you need to devote yourself to it and become unavailable.
Then be very hard on yourself.

Men who are easy on themselves but hard on others are weak, complacent & hypocritical.
You must first be hard on yourself. Then expect the same of others.
This then allows you to cultivate intolerance, which is what upholds your values & incites fear in those who don't.

If you want to be respected, provide value for nothing in return.
Most men dont know how to do this. And if they do, they ask for something in return.
Yes, providing value SHOULD be exchanged, but only AFTER you have proved yourself.

You have to provide first, frequently, without ulterior motives aside from putting the other person in a better state then you found them.
This is how respect is obtained. It is not given. It is not demanded.
It must be earned.

The combination of being unavaiable, helping people for nothing in return, while being intolerant to those without values,
is what makes a man feared AND respected. Each 3 elements MUST exist to evoke both responses:
-unavailability
-intolerance
-compassion

If you're too available, then you're not devoted to your purpose & therefore cannot be taken seriously.
If you are tolerant, then you lack values and stand for nothing.
If you lack compassion, then you are not fit to lead.
Work on all three. Be feared and respected.
