Set the example. A leader is the example that other people will follow. Leaders who ask team members to behave and act one way but do not do it themselves send a counterproductive message. Take the time to assess how well you were projecting the behaviors and attitudes that you want your team to take. This will go a long way towards helping people understand the leadership behaviors that you would like to see in the practice.
