LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE #5: SET AN EXAMPLE
You are leading people. Your only expectation is lead people by example.
Be the kind of leader that will do the things his followers expects him to do.
Be the kind of leader that will correct issues long before they become distractions
Be the leader that will do as he says.
Be the leader that will always STEP UP!
Be the leader that not only sets the example but also you expects others, mainly his followers, to set the example, as well.
A leader can never take the easy path such as the notoriously famous path of “do as I say not as I do”. A leader must be prepared to face challenges head on and not leave it for others to deal with.
A leader must know that future leaders will only continue the trail he blazes today.
There is no turning back for a leader. Once he or she has accepted the reins of leadership, he must be ready to not only steer his follows in the right direction but also ensure that when he hands those reins over to the next leader the direction they travel continues to be the right direction.
ALL DAY. EVERY DAY. SET THE EXAMPLE.
