Alright prefer to be respected or feared?

But nowadays, sometimes being feared is a shortcut to being respected. I mean, we often do the hard way just to be respected by everybody and by all means, we cannot avoid of being feared by doing so. Though the two are totally different, the two could support each other. Take for example a boss-employee relationship where the boss gets the respect he/she needed from the employee while being feared because of his superiority. Being feared could have both good and bad feedbacks, and I am sticking to the good one.
