There’s really no more powerful way to lead than by example.
Smarts, experience, years, knowledge, and awards only gets you so far with your sphere of influence.
But if you want someone completely on board with your leadership, you have to lead by example.
It doesn’t mean you have to sign up to always do the work, but at least once and visibly.
The bar owners needs to be seen mopping the floors.
The sales leader needs to close a deal.
The event organizer needs to host one for her own team.
Could you imagine signing up to listen to someone talk about writing a book from someone who hasn’t?
Why would we accept anything less in any other area of work?
