Lead from the FRONT

Sounds obvious or logical, doesn’t it? 

Here’s a quote from one of the most legendary leaders that ever lived, GHANDI:

“You can’t change people.  You must be the change you wish to see in people.”

There is nothing more motivational to others than leading from the front.   You motivate others when you are out there and you do it yourself.  It’s more inspiring to others when you DO what you want them to do, first.

BE INSPIRING to others.

Your team would rather be inspired than fixed or corrected.  They would rather be inspired than anything else.

As a motivational practice, leading from the front has a bigger impact and lasts longer than any other practice.  It changes people more deeply and more completely than anything else you can do.

BE What You Want to See in Others

If you want your team to be more positive, be more positive.   If you want them to take pride in their work, take more pride in yours.  Show them how it’s done.  Want them to be on time?  Always be early…(and tell them why..tell them what punctuality means to you, not to them).

Remember the words of General George Patton, “There are three principals of leadership:

1)      Example

2)      Example

3)      Example”
