Walk the Walk
“Actions prove who someone is; words just prove who they pretend to be.”
Your team members are always watching. They see what you do, and they see if that aligns with what you tell them. Make sure that your actions reflect the best version of yourself and your leadership. Follow through on your commitments. Do the right thing, even when it is not the easy thing. Have your people’s back if they stumble.
Don’t just tell your people how to be an excellent professional. Show them.
