Lead by Example

Effective leaders know how to set good examples to lead their team.   What are you doing to lead by example?

Leaders strive to be consistent with the kind of behaviour expected.  Setting the bar high enough to challenge everyone yet not too high to discourage some of the members.

Focusing on the important tasks first and completing them before moving on to the next important task helps with the team understanding how to prioritize.  

Many teams have "busy" people focusing on tasks not related to the goals.   Leading by example and encouraging these members to prioritize better will result in more productive activities.

Facing challenges head on and addressing each one as it arises with a plan of action is another way to lead by example.   Do you know anyone who procrastinates?   How can an effective leader motivate the team to reduce the procrastination?

Teams who embrace their effective leader and learn by following the examples set, will learn how to blend their leader's style into their own style.   This type of culture leads to successful teams.
