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.

The most significant visions are not cast by great orators from a stage. They are cast at the bedsides of our children. The greatest visioncasting opportunities happen between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30 PM Monday through Sunday. In these closing hours of the day we have a unique opportunity to plant the seeds of what could be and what should be. Take every opportunity you get.
