Visionary leaders lead by example from "summary" of Visionary Leadership by Burt Nanus
Visionary leaders understand the importance of setting a positive example for their followers. They realize that their actions speak louder than words, and that their behavior will have a significant impact on the culture and values of their organization. By modeling the behavior they wish to see in others, visionary leaders inspire their teams to strive for excellence and uphold high standards. Leading by example requires consistency and authenticity. Visionary leaders must practice what they preach and embody the values they espouse. This means being transparent and honest in their dealings, demonstrating integrity in their actions, and showing empathy and respect towards others. By aligning their behavior with their words, visionary leaders build trust and credibility with their followers. Moreover, leading by example enables visionary leaders to effectively communicate their vision and goals. When followers see their leader living out the values and principles they promote, they are more likely to buy into the vision and commit to its realization. By showing dedication, perseverance, and resilience in the face of challenges, visionary leaders inspire others to stay focused and motivated towards achieving the shared vision. Additionally, leading by example fosters a culture of accountability and responsibility within the organization. When leaders hold themselves to the same standards they expect from their followers, it creates a sense of fairness and equity. This encourages team members to take ownership of their work, strive for excellence, and hold themselves accountable for their actions.- Visionary leaders understand that their behavior sets the tone for the entire organization. By leading by example, they not only inspire others to follow their lead but also establish a culture of excellence, integrity, and accountability. Through their actions and words, visionary leaders demonstrate their commitment to their vision and values, earning the trust and respect of their followers.
