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.
