We are always &#8216;on&#8217; as leaders and it is up to us to set the standard. For example, oftentimes there are empty wrappers or coffee cups left strewn in the halls or on the school grounds. It would be very easy in my hurry to get to class to walk past them and not stop and pick them up and dispose of them in the proper receptacles. \u00a0However, I know that I need to set an example and that if I want to see change, it needs to start with me. \u00a0Sometimes it&#8217;s the smallest things that can make the biggest difference in the culture of an organization. \u00a0I also realize that I can&#8217;t expect other people to do things that I myself wouldn&#8217;t be willing to do. \u00a0Part of being a leader is being willing to roll up our sleeves, be willing to get messy, to make mistakes and work alongside the team. \u00a0If we aren&#8217;t willing to model expectations or standards or think that the dirty work is beneath us, then we aren&#8217;t deserving to be leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/shaaz\/2018\/06\/18\/moral-implications-of-a-leader\/ I appreciated Shaaz&#8217; sharing of their experiences with their boss who acts as a role model by tending to the small things (like washing his cup). \u00a0I love the reminder that even when we don&#8217;t think our actions are being noticed they are.
