Role Modelling

If you are not looking after yourself, it isn't easy to look after others.

How will people learn from you?

People observe us as leaders. They listen to what you say and watch what you do. You give them a chance to improve.

Some key points to being a great role model.

·       Doing what you want others to do. Lead from the front.

·       Being consistent

·       Being authentic.

·       Resiliency.

·       Genuine care about others – EQ

·       Balanced responses and taking other people's requirements into consideration.

·       Setting a great culture with appropriate values and ethics.

·       Walk the talk + reward and recognise.

·       Attend to the appropriate details

·       Problem-solving coupled with Optimism

·       Having and communicating a clear vision

·       Appropriate levels of risk-taking in line with the Strategy

Leadership is about doing something and having people following you.

Role model leaders have more impact than they realise. It is not easy, and therefore when you are a role model leader, it is easy to underestimate the impact you are having.

Leaders do their best to make a difference but at the same time set up a framework that faciliates others to shine and make a difference.

Through collaboration, the complexity can be increased in a structured way. A great leader can facilitate the process without having to know everything.
