Be an example for others

For leaders, setting a good example is crucial because it shows the team how to act, think, and solve problems. When leaders demonstrate qualities like honesty, hard work, and kindness, they’re not just telling their team what to do; they’re showing them. This is powerful because actions often speak louder than words.

Good leaders do this by tackling challenges head-on, treating everyone with respect, and being open about their own learning journey, including the mistakes they make and how they overcome them. By being a living example of the values and behaviors they want to see in their team, they inspire and motivate their team to follow suit.^[1]
