A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume.
King Solomon
Wise leaders know the best way to integrate values and ethics into the thinking of their coworkers is by modeling good character and excellent performance themselves.
They know that it’s not only what they do, but also HOW they do what they do that count.
We expect our leaders to set a good example and act in an exemplary and positive way.
Wise and effective leaders live as they learn through acting in accordance with vision and values.
As the saying goes: Our actions say more than words. That our words and deeds are aligned constitutes the basis for credibility of leadership.
About “The Key Leadership Principles”
This weeks Key Leadership Principle is “Lead by example”.
I will write one thought for every day during this week and then give you the opportunity to reflect on some important questions on how to Lead by example the following week.
This is the format I will use to inspire your learning, releasing your talent and potential. My hope is that you will come along with your thoughts along the way.
I wish you the best in your life and leadership,
Per Winblad
