Lead by example in all that you do from "summary" of Make Your Bed by Admiral William H. McRaven
In life, it is important to remember that actions speak louder than words. If you want to be a leader, you must lead by example in all that you do. This means that you must set the standard for others to follow. You cannot expect others to do things that you are not willing to do yourself. When you lead by example, you show others that you are not afraid to get your hands dirty. You demonstrate that you are willing to do the hard work that is necessary to achieve success. By rolling up your sleeves and diving into the work alongside your team, you earn their respect and trust. Leading by example also means that you must hold yourself to the same standards that you hold others. You cannot expect others to follow rules or guidelines that you are not willing to follow yourself. If you want your team to be disciplined and focused, you must first demonstrate those qualities in your own actions. Furthermore, leading by example requires consistency. You must be unwavering in your commitment to excellence. Your team will look to you for guidance and direction, so it is crucial that you remain steadfast in your values and principles. By staying true to your beliefs and consistently acting in accordance with them, you will inspire others to do the same. In the end, leading by example is about more than just telling people what to do. It is about showing them how to do it. When you lead by example, you become a role model for others to emulate. Your actions will speak volumes about your character and integrity, setting the tone for the rest of the team. So remember, if you want to be a leader, you must lead by example in all that you do.
