I was reminded in church this morning of the importance of leading by example. How many things in your life have you learned by the example set by others? What was this experience like for you?
In contrast, what was it like to have another stand over, directing you? In this example, were they demanding, short of patience, or even have an opinion that there is “only one right way”?
Reflect on these experiences and the ways in which you teach, lead, and interact with others. In my reflection, I’m asking three things:
1. What kind of example am I setting for others?
2. What steps will I take today to make sure the example I set is a good one?
3. In what ways can I stand up and lead by example more often?
