You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You cannot lead others until you have first learned to lead yourself.
I try to lead by example.
You can't lead anyone else further than you have gone yourself.
To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.
Fundamentally, what you're trying to do when you're directing is get a group of people who most likely have never met, unify them, and make sure that we're all clear on what we're marching towards.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
My feeling is if you're going to be a leader, you have to carefully assess where people are and where people want to go.
Often leaders have the best intentions, but people cannot read their minds. That's why it's important to declare yourself: Tell people why you choose to lead and the code you live by.
I don't know any other way to lead but by example.
