Leading by example in your business is important. You are the role model.

If you want others to follow your lead, it's important to demonstrate the ability to follow rules yourself. Good leaders know how to be good followers. For instance, if you expect your employees to maintain a high attendance rate, you should set an example by arriving to work on time and attending meetings as scheduled.

Valuing punctuality sets an example for employees and improves performance.

You will earn your employees' trust and make them look forward to coming to work by showing them you value this aspect as you value them.

Observing your daily behavior sets the standard for your workforce's reliability. Keep in mind that they are observers, so avoid leading them into unproductive staff.

Leading by example gives the people under you something to look up to. It is also a from of motivation that whatever you tell them to do is possible. Imagine a situation where you tell them to do something for the growth of the business and you personally can't do it, then it's safe for them to assume it's not possible.
