leadership dot #1882: example

"You are setting an example -- whether you want to or not" read the marquee outside a local church. The quote gave me pause for both is magnitude and simplicity, as well as for the accuracy of its message. People truly are watching.

Think about the example you are setting for others around you. Do your colleagues see you delivering the stellar service that you would hope to receive? Are your children observing you make sacrifices to support causes you admire? Have you committed the time to your friends that will sustain a relationship or does work always come first?

You may think that people aren't paying attention, but when you consider how much you observe about others you'll realize that someone is learning from you. It is through the small actions more than the big ones that our legacy is communicated. Live like someone is watching.
