Today, I want to share some secrets with you:
- People don’t go as fast as they can.
- They don’t work as hard as they can either.
- They aren’t as disciplined as possible.
- They aren’t as positive-minded or enthusiastic as they can be.
- They’re only as fast and disciplined and positive as you are.
As the leader, you set the pace.
You create the standards.
The speed, quality, and culture of the pack are determined by the leader.
That means the most important, but also the most underused and violated principle of leadership, is leading by example.
If you really want to have leadership influence, you have no choice but, to be the change you want to see in others.
Leadership is less about the words that come out of you and more about what exists within you.
Is there a behavior that is rotting the teeth of your business and ruining its health? If so, what can you do to change it?
“The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example.”
