Leading By Example Essay

What does it mean to lead by example? When people lead by example, they become a person others want to follow. Taking responsibility for your actions is leading by example. It is this because you are taking responsibility for your actions, which encourages kids and other people to do the same. Inspire people to be just like you. Teach and use teamwork so they can learn to do the same. Following the 10 commandments is a good example. Like number nine thou shalt not bear false witnesses which means do not tell lies about other people that is not leading by example. Honor thy father and thy mother meaning respect your parents because if you were to act out in public and younger kids seen you they might think it’s ok and try to act badly and

it will be your fault for not being a good leader. Thou shalt not kill, but that could mean other things to like don’t hurt people like their feelings and stuff because that will teach people that it is okay and they will try to do it too.
One person stands out when it comes to leading by example and that person is John Lennon. He was a good example of honesty in his art and life. I look up to John Lennon, but if he was a bad person and didn’t do everything he did then he wouldn’t be someone I and others would like to follow. But he inspired the world and is someone I and other people follow because of his impact on people's lives. In his exact words he said “The time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time” so use that time wisely and remember people are watching your actions.
There are a lot of good quotes to get people thinking about how they can lead by example.

Like this one “my responsibility is getting all my players playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back.” The quote is written by an unknown person but it is a good example of leading by example. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18 meaning if there is no one to, lead by example then there is no one for them to follow. “Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better” I really like this one because it is saying that if you take leadership and try to lead by example then you unlock that person's potential to be a better

person.
People lead by example every day and some don’t even know it. I sure know I do. For example, in church I have to sit there and listen to the preacher. If I didn’t the kids might think it is ok to play around which might interrupt the church service. But if I sit there and listen like I am suppose to then they might do the same. It’s definitely something to think about. I lead by example in school too. I know I do in band everyday. If I sit there and talk to the people around me they are most likely to do the same. That’s why I have to sit there and listen to the band director. Since I am older they want to do as I do so they can become better musicians because they know how far I have gotten and they want to reach that goal.
Another way to lead by example is to respect other people's differences.

If you are making fun of a person for being different others are likely to follow. If you make fun of other people or you judge them, then that may hurt the other person's feelings. But if you are nice to that person and treat them kindly others might follow and do the same. They could become more confident in their self just because you encouraged others to treat them equally. That's why you need to be nice to others i'm sure they would greatly appreciate it too. See, now you know why leading by example is so important. You could really change someone's life. You could even make someone a better person. Think about it and watch what you're doing people are watching you and are learning from you so at least try to lead by example. It’s worth

it!
