want to be successful in the future. For this law, Maxwell illustrated the example of a
great and brave woman: Harriet Tubman who was born as a slave and rescued over

three hundred slaves to be freed from slavery in 1857, even she couldn’t know the way
to read and write any letter. But respect does not mean that it is always depending in

the result of what other people agree or not. It is depending on one’s action worth being
respected by other people.

Therefore Maxwell observed for leaders to earn respect in six necessary

ways: 1. Natural Leadership Ability, 2. Respect for others, 3. Courage, 4. Success, 5.

leadership people will follow him, by building trust, the subordinate will be happy to

comply, and practice the law of leadership. Certainly, no one has full of these 21 laws

or seven essential laws of leadership but choose one of those which suitable for and
shape it to be a form.
