Do As I Say..... Don't Do As I Do Will Never Get You Successful Results
We have all been told that our children will follow our example, not our advice Since this is a good example of how we bring children up it should also be a reminder how important this is with our adult life Today we see so many people wanting to know how great leaders are leading the way by wanting them to reveal their practices, nature, or behavior
While this is flattering, it should be something we all should ponder about since after all and in retrospect 'we are actually all leaders'
As adults, we have to earn a living and our focus on this starts gaining momentum through our job skills
Nothing of value comes without being earned You cant demand respect because of a title or a position, but in the long run people respond to what they see
Since people are watching and are being influenced by our behavior, for better or worse, we are teaching how others behave and respond to us be it in the office, home, friends, etc
While our words matter, what we do matters far more Translate those principles into action - people are influenced by example in an intentional and productive way The most successful leaders genuinely enjoy responsibilities, have positive energy & attitude, are problem solvers; avoid procrastination, invest in relationships, make others feel safe to speak openly and challenge people to think
They focus on building camaraderie among people in a common cause which build effective long term relationships. They listen, understand and acknowledge the contributions of others - building relationships is one of their strongest skills sets
Their decisions are from an accumulation of experiences and encounters with a multitude of different circumstances, personality types and unforeseen failures
We are all leaders in life and action is what counts, not our words
