Each day, in all we do -- at home and at work and on the street -- people are watching how we speak and the way we behave and the quality of our integrity.

The best leaders influence their followers by understanding that every move they make sends a signal to their team on what behavior sets the standard. In my leadership keynotes for fast-growing companies I share the term “LBE”: Lead By Example and note that it’s the opposite of CBE: Complaint, Blame and Excuse (which gets a leader nowhere). 

The best humans appreciate that everyone around them is measuring the quality of their humanity, excellence and decency by how they live. Pro tip: your daily behavior reflects your deepest beliefs (so upgrade your mental programs to unlock your greatest performance). 

Imagine that each day of your life you had spectators. Yes, an audience watching the thoughts you run through your brain, the habits you apply through your hours and the way you operate around your activities. I’d bet you’d raise your game. And push a little harder to be the person you aim to be at your end.

So yes, people do watch what we do, even if we fall into the trap of thinking that they don’t. And our reputation is based on the richness of that doing.

Hope this helps and have a great day (please!).
