=============================================
One
of the most powerful ways to affect the behavior others
is to set an example. What we say isn't as important as
what we do. People watch what we do and will respond accordingly.
We can't tell people to do something that we are not willing
to do. When others see that we are willing to do what we
ask them to do, they will be more willing to follow our
example.
Coaching
"Do
as I say and not as I do," doesn't work. People pay
attention to what we do and will follow our examples. If
you want others to act a certain way, you must first be
willing to act that way yourself. You can't expect people
to tell you the truth if you are not willing to tell the
truth yourself. You can't expect people to treat you with
respect if you do not treat them with respect. Do as you
say and people will follow your example.
Where
do you need to set a better example?
Daily
Success Formula
What
you say + What you do = Setting a good example
Quotes
"That's
all a man can hope for during his lifetime -- to set an
example -- and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for
history." William McKinley
