The most effective leaders don’t just tell people what to do—they show them how it’s done. If you want your team to be accountable, proactive, and resilient, model those behaviors yourself.
Arrive on time. Follow through on commitments. Own your mistakes and learn from them. Display the work ethic, positivity, and adaptability you expect from others. When your actions align with your words, you build credibility—and credibility builds influence.
Even in tough moments, maintain a solution-focused mindset. Teams look to their leaders in times of uncertainty. Your response to challenges sets the tone for everyone else.
