A Checklist to test if
you set a good example
Do you ask others to do what you would be unwilling to
do yourself?
Do people comment on the good example you set in your
work?
Does your (bad) example conflict with what all are trying
to do?
Can you quote when you last deliberately set out to give
a lead by example?
Can you think of ways you could lead by example?
Do you mention the importance of example to team
leaders who report to you?Developing leadership skills
Organisations (and if you are the leader of one that means you)
should ensure that they have a policy of developing the leadership
potential in all and particularly of newly appointed ‘leaders’!
Individuals should also ensure that they focus on developing their
leadership skills by training, reading, analysing and following the
example of good leaders and by assessing, monitoring and improving
their own performance.
