- Summary: This is one of the tools that makes up the Project on Positive Leadership’s “Virtues and Vices” series of instructional tools. It contains four stories of respect, contempt, or obsequiousness. A tool with multiple stories enables students to examine what is required to exhibit ideal respect across different settings, and to account for the differing perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Each story includes carefully-crafted reflection questions to provoke the students’ learning, to prepare them for class, to prepare themselves to practice respect, and to motivate them to be more mindful about their approach to leadership.
