But how do you lead by example?
In paper it looks easy, being a great example to others. But think about it, it is way more that setting an example for others. It is taking responsibility for your actions, knowing that you will be in the look of others. Leading by example is living a life in which people will follow you because of the choices you take.
Think about your everyday decisions. Thought your day you have a combination of simple decisions with very hard decisions, depends on how your day is going. Now add the pressure that you have a bunch of people depending on those decisions. I mean in some way they will be influenced on the decisions you take.
This week I have been really reflective about leadership. Specially thinking about when is the best moment to take a lead and how to lead by example. It is never to late to take the lead specially in times of trouble when you have a group of people that do not know what route to take. It really takes time and dedication to be a leader, to take the lead requires you to stand up and be proactive for a change.
Everybody can be a leader it just takes time to become one.
