We all have seen people who keep preaching about integrity, transparency, values, and ethics on social media and within their teams.
But when you notice their actions, they act exactly opposite to what they preach.
Itโs ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ about integrity in meetings.
Itโs ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ it when targets are at risk.
Itโs ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐๐ธ for accountability.
Itโs ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ it when things go wrong.
Itโs ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ about ethics.
Itโs ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ it when your team is just one sale away from hitting the target and you have a shortcut to get that sale done.
What you choose in these situations thatโs where your leadership is tested.
A manager once told his team,
โTake ownership. Be accountable.โ
Sounds right.
But when a mistake happened, he shifted the blame to the team in front of senior leadership.
That one moment changed everything.
The team didnโt stop working.
But they stopped trusting.
Do you practice what you preach in public, or do you just choose the easy path?
Not just in corporates, it defines what kind of person you are.
Should people trust you?
Should they respect you?
Should they value and act on what you preach?
All these things are defined by a single question.

So sit with yourself and reflect on your actions, are they aligned with what you preach or not?
โป ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ to remind, leadership is not what you say; itโs what you do.
