Lead by example and practice what you preach from "summary" of Developing the Leader Within You by John C. Maxwell
Leadership is not just about telling others what to do; it's about showing them through your own actions. It's about leading by example and practicing what you preach. When you lead by example, you set the standard for your team to follow. People are more likely to respect and trust a leader who walks the walk, not just talks the talk. As a leader, you must embody the values and principles that you want your team to uphold. Your actions speak louder than your words. If you want your team to be honest and hardworking, you must be honest and hardworking yourself. Your team will look to you for guidance and direction, so it's important to show them the way by your own example.
When you practice what you preach, you show your team that you are committed to your own words. You demonstrate that you believe in what you say and that you are willing to hold yourself accountable to the same standards. This builds trust and credibility with your team. They will be more likely to follow your lead when they see that you are living by the same values that you espouse.
In order to be an effective leader, you must be consistent in your words and actions. You cannot expect your team to follow your guidance if you are not modeling the behavior you expect from them. By aligning your words with your actions, you create a sense of authenticity and integrity that will inspire and motivate your team to do the same.
Leading by example and practicing what you preach requires self-awareness and self-discipline. It means holding yourself to a higher standard and being willing to make sacrifices for the greater good of your team. It's not always easy, but it is essential if you want to earn the respect and loyalty of those you lead. Remember, actions speak louder than words. Show your team what it means to be a true leader through your own example.
