Leading by Example in Leadership: Why Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Not only is your team listening to you.

They are watching every move you make.

Have you said:

“You’re empowered to take full ownership of this initiative”

Only to insert yourself and take over that very same initiative

Or

“Take your vacation time, you need to recharge”

But then don’t do that yourself?

Or

“Don’t work on the weekends”

Only to be sending email after email on the weekends?

This list can go on…

It’s not enough to say the “right” things.

Your actions must align.

By not aligning what you say with what you do

You leave your employees confused about what your expectations really are.

If you want your team to succeed

Your speaking and actions must align.

They will be following your lead.
