Caesar, Alexander the Great, Pericles – to give young people something to emulate.
(The Guardian, 2020)
In organizational terms, that means what you say to your employees is less
important than what you do. They will watch how you behave, how you treat
others, how you cope with pressure and whether you follow through on your
promises. And they will imitate you. If you talk about ethics and then cut corners
at the first opportunity, they will follow your lead. Set a good example and they
will follow it. Plutarch would also warn that your best young employees will use
you as a bar to aim for and exceed. That's natural. Let them compete with you and
encourage them to go further. (The Guardian, 2020)
