Interpretation

What this quote means

Leadership is about influence, and the example you set can impact those around you profoundly.

This quote emphasizes that effective leadership is not solely about the decisions and actions taken by the leader, but also about the role model they present to others. The way a leader conducts themselves sets the standard for their followers, and those who observe the leader will be influenced by their behavior and values, often more than the instructions or directives given.
