✔SUBSCRIBE✔ Leaders lead by example whether they realize it or not – the question is, what example do leaders set? In this video, I explain how it works. You see, every action has a consequence. When you’re leading a team, you need to be aware of the impact that your actions have on your team members and every facet of your organization.
We all know that kids pick up on the little things we say. Well, so do adults. Great leaders lead by example because they know that whatever they do, someone is likely to notice their behavior and hopefully emulate it. But when a leader’s actions don’t accurately reflect whatever philosophy they’re promoting, there are bound to be negative consequences.
It’s so important as a leader to remember that every action has a consequence – everything you do either promotes or pollutes. This mindset will help you to live whatever it is that you teach your team, and by living what you teach, your effectiveness as a leader will grow.
What are your core values? Are you showing your team what it means to apply those values? Or do your actions contradict what it is that you’re saying?
Because leaders lead by example, self-awareness is a crucial first step. Pay attention to what you say and do. Decide whether your words and actions will inspire in others a reflection of the kinds of values you follow.
When you recognize deep down that every action has a consequence, you become forced to exhibit your organization’s core philosophies at all times. And in doing so, you’ll become a leader that people can look up to, respect, and follow.
In other words, you’ll become a great leader.
