- Overall, the following recommendation can be made in relation to how worth of example may relate to leadership:
- Leading by example is mostly evaluated as a moral or ethical obligation for two reasons:
- Leaders are prominent figures and to some degree represent the organization/company they are associated with. As such, their behaviors and attitudes may partially determine the organization’s image.
- “Subordinates” often internalize the behaviors and attitudes of leaders.
- To avoid triggering a negative spiral, leaders need to lead by example.
- Leading by example has intrinsic value: a person who knows they are functioning as a positive example to others may adopt a positive self-image and feel satisfied.
