Leaders Setting the Proper Example

What would your impression be if a leader in your company violates policies and regulations? The same leader that demands everyone follows policies and is quick to take disciplinary action.

People that are in leadership positions have to consistently set the proper example for the entire team. You are being observed by everyone you are in charge of and when you violate rules they see it. It is an embarrassing situation to correct someone and ask why they didn't follow the rules and their reply being that they observed you doing it and thought it was ok. Leaders are paid to be the professional example for all to emulate and inspire others to pursue a position of leadership.

If you are in a leadership position then you have to understand the tremendous impact you have on your team. If you are an outstanding leader they will follow your example and strive to be in your position in the future. If you are a weak leader that sets a poor example then your team typically will have no respect for you and will look elsewhere for a leader to emulate.

Setting an example isn't only about policies and rules it is also about character, integrity, moral values and pride to name a few. The point I am trying to impress upon you is that a leadership position carries a magnitude of responsibilities with it. Leaders are responsible for developing the future leaders of the company, there is nothing more rewarding than watching a person you trained be promoted.
