In leadership, there’s a simple truth: you can’t inspire others to do what you’re not willing to do yourself. Leading by example isn’t just about setting expectations, it’s about embodying the values and work ethic you wish to see in your team. Throughout my 24-year career, I’ve worked for both good and bad examples of this principle and am thankful for the lessons from both. I have found that the most effective leaders are those who are right there in the trenches, showing what commitment, resilience, and integrity look like in action. By demonstrating the same dedication, adaptability, and willingness to learn that we ask of others, we foster an environment where trust and respect thrive. Great listen, hope you enjoy....
