MODEL THE WAY
It refers to the most fundamental way in which
leaders earn and sustain credibility
You must believe in the values you express, but
those values must not be merely your own principles,
they must represent what the company stands for
The best leaders are distinguished by relentless
effort, steadfastness, competence, and attention to
detail
5 PRACTICES OF EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP

INSPIRE A VISION
An Exemplary leader is exceptionally good at
imagining a future that does not yet exist
The leader must convince people that he
understands their needs and have their interests at
heart
Leadership is a dialogue, not a monologue

CHALLENGE THE PROCESS
Most leadership challenges involve a change in the
status quo and they must therefore challenge the
current process. They must search for opportunities
to innovate, grow and improve
The Exemplary Leaders minimize the risk of failure
for others while making people feel safe and
comfortable in taking risks
Failure is also a valuable learning experience

ENABLE OTHERS TO ACT
Leaders must strengthen others by increasing self-
determination and developing competence
Leaders make an environment that makes it possible
for others to do good work
In short, a leader must turn his or her followers into
leaders themselves

ENCOURAGE THE HEART
The leaders should show appreciation for people’s
contributions and create a culture to recognize
accomplishments
For example, establish a public recognition program
that rewards performance. First of all, this serves to
align behavior with the cherished values expressed
