"Follow the leader"
-a line used so often that it has somehow lost its meaning. To follow the leader does not only mean following instructions and orders.
"Lead by example"
-there was this line I've read from an old Academic issue of the Corps Magazine (the PMA magazine) written by the then Class Baron of PMA Class 2002 and I think this fits my line of thinking perfectly. It says, "lead your men by example and they will obey with willingness, confidence, respect, and loyal cooperation."
So true.
If you want your subordinates to follow the rules, show them how. If you want them to cooperate, give them a reason to.
"Children are confused about right and wrong because adults talk right then do wrong"
- read this a long time ago from a woman's magazine (can't remember if its Mod or Women's journal). I guess its the same with leadership. When you say something then do something else, it confuses your followers and they will most likely follow what you do more than follow what you said.
"Walk the talk"
-If you say you will do it, then do it. If you keep on saying something to people then don't do it at all people will eventually take your words for granted. And again, so is with leadership. If you say they will be punished then show them that you mean it because otherwise they will learn to take the threat as nothing but a threat.
and lastly,
"Action speaks louder than words"
-and this doesn't have to be elaborated.
Now, get my drift?
