Abstract

Exemplary leaders engage in practices that stand the test of time, the first being that they model the way. Exemplary leaders clarify their personal values and then express those values in their own style and voice. They then set the example by aligning their personal actions with shared values. Find your values and your voice. Exemplary leaders have strong beliefs about matters of principle. Learn to express your values in a way that is genuinely and authentically you. Tremendous energy is generated when individual, group, and institutional values are aligned. Commitment, enthusiasm, and drive are intensified, as people have reasons for caring about their work. Leaders enact the meaning of the organization in every decision they make and in every step they take. Show people what's important by how you spend your time.
