Leading by example

Leading by example ain't all it's cracked up to be. If people see a person who is tireless, determined and courageous, they may see someone who:

1. Has no personal life and has plenty of free time on their hands
2. Is strange
3. Will take care of stuff for them
4. Is happy carrying more than their "fair share" of the load

A true leader doesn't take advantage of a person like this, they celebrate them.
