Chapter 8: You

Either Lead by
Example or Don’t
Lead at All
Barry Feldman
Admit Your Mistakes

“If you want others to perceive you as being honest, it's

not just about telling the truth when it's easy. The more
revealing test is telling the truth when it's difficult, even
embarrassing and possibly damaging, to do so.”
Leaders are
responsible for
modeling
behavior based
on the values
they
communicate.
“How can you learn very much if you're
unwilling to find out more about how
your behavior is impacting the behavior
and performance of those around you?”

The short answer is: "You can't." It's

your job as a leader to keep asking
others, "How am I doing?" If you don't
ask, they're not likely to tell you.
How Does the World See You
as a Leader?
