Leading by example is one of the first things I learned as professional – as a Key Club International board member in 1967, this was the theme we promoted to members of this high school service organization. It continued as I worked towards my BS in Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell and influenced me to begin my career in human resources. It’s what I taught the more than 5500 leaders I hired and coached during my professional career and is the cornerstone of my consulting practice. Integrity, ethics, honesty, compassion, and commitment are the behaviors we sought to instill in employees, mostly by having their leaders practice them. No different than what my parents sought to instill in me by practicing them in our family life. No different than what all leading religions seek to instill in their members. No different than what we put in our handbooks. Or teach our children. Now, more than ever, we all need to practice these behaviors with each other. Everywhere. With everyone. All the time. Starting today.
