11.15 Miguel Cabrera: Do More

“When you are a leader, people are watching how you work. You have to set an example.” - Miguel Cabrera 

Would people follow you if they never heard you and only watched what you did?

Miguel Cabrera is a Venezuelan-born professional baseball player who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball, mostly with the Detroit Tigers.

He once said, “When you are a leader, people are watching how you work. You have to set an example.” 

Growing up, my coaches always taught me how important it is to lead by example. You have to be able to back up what you say by practicing what you preach, or you lose credibility.

Now, I say more is caught than taught.

When you are a leader, people will always watch what you do to see if it matches what you say.

Question of the Day: What kind of an example are you setting with your actions?
