    February 22, 2010 by Per Winblad

    Reflect and act on these Questions this week

    First read through Part 1- 6 about how to Lead by example.

    I present you with the following questions and exercises to reflect over, as seeds for your own exploration and development.

    This week take an honest “look in the mirror” to see if your actions are aligned with what you preach.

    1. Take note of the decisions and choices you are making, from how you start your day until the last thing you do in the evening before you go to sleep.

    Ask yourself – are what I chose to do aligned with what matters to me and with what I want to stand for?

    2. What do I need to be more aware of in my life and leadership?

    3. What can I start doing to show and communicate more clearly what I stand for in my life and leadership?

    Whatever you do, do well.

    King Solomon

    We all possess a greater potential within us. The question is where we find the situation and the persons that can attract this greater betterment that we carry within us.

    How I can create my future and how I can lift my surroundings will be the key questions for my leadership.

    Wise leaders realize that there is only one way to go. It is to deepen one’s own awareness of and confidence in the future.

    The example and responsibility that lay before us as leaders are to always operate for the good, a better future, and a better world.

    This is a deep conviction of the values that possess a weight and validity beyond one’s own self, and which gives life qualities and larger dimensions.

    To summarize this week

    To become a wiser leader:
    • Lead by example by acting in accordance with higher values.
    • What you as the leader spends time and attention to count.
    • Be trustworthy by serving as a model and good example.
    • Align what you practice with what you preach.
    • It’s not only what you do, but also HOW you do what you do.

    It is far better not to say you’ll do something than to say you will and then not do it.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders walk the talk. They know that its not what they say, but what they do that count. They keep their promises and commit to do the right thing.

    By keeping promises to themselves and their environment they build confidence and trust.

    This is the source for excellent performance from themselves as well as the group creating value and lasting success.

    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.

    A man is known by his actions.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders know the importance of being trustworthy.

    They align what they practice with what they preach.

    They do what they say they will do.

    When the environment sees that words and deeds are consistent, it creates credibility. And it is through being credible that a leader can bring a long-term commitment in the group.

    When you lead by example, you make it easy for others to follow you.

    The wise man will find a time and a way to do what he says. Yes, there is a time and a way for everything.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders lead by example by acting in accordance with higher values.

    Those values permeate confidence in their behavior ranging from creating good relations to completing the task fully. Quality, creativity and consistency are the key words.

    What the leader spends time and attention to counts. They deliberately devote time to the group’s viability and development.

    Supporting both the group and the individual becomes the norm in that it gives higher priority and greater focus.
