“The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.”
Ray Kroc
This quote is for me equal to or at least close to “Lead by example”. People observe your actions and behavior. If you like it or not! What and how you do it has a ripple effect on your organization and the people around you. Therefore the first person you have to lead and discipline is yourself. You set the standard for your organization and need to ensure that you are giving a good example. There will be always jobs or tasks that you might not like. Take them in stride and do them. Your attitude will reflect on the team. Till today I often do things I performed in my previous roles. Your team sees if you hand off minor or unthankful tasks. If you have the time, do what is in front of you.
