How to lead by example

It is vital that as the director or manager of your practice you ‘lead by example’ at all times. As Albert Schweitzer the philosopher said ‘Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing’. However, ‘leading by example’ is easier said than done. The way you behave when you are at work sets the tone and the atmosphere for your whole team. This is a huge responsibility and it is important to regularly check how you are doing in this key area. An inspirational leader can lead a team to do amazing things.
