Lead by Example

Ways to Lead by Example

Successful leaders lead best by example. Through their actions, which are aligned with what they say, they walk their talk. They become a person others choose to follow.

Trust, a critical element of productive leadership. 

1. Take responsibility. Blame costs you your credibility. 

2. Be truthful. Show that honesty really IS the best policy. 

3. Be courageous. Take calculated risks that demonstrate commitment to a larger purpose. 

4. Acknowledge failure. You define failure as part of the process of becoming extraordinary.

5. Be persistent. Try again. Go over, under or around any challenges to show that obstacles can be dealt with.

6. Create solutions. Be the first to offer solutions and then ask for their opinion

7. Listen. Ask questions. Seek to understand. You’ll receive valuable insights, setting the tone that encourages healthy dialogue.

8. Delegate liberally. Encourage an atmosphere in which people can focus on their core strengths.

9. Take care of yourself. Exercise, don’t overwork, take a break. A balanced mind, mentally and physically, is a successful team. Love it, encourage it, support it!  

10. Roll up your sleeves. You’ll inspire greatness in your creative success.
