Model the way.

People won’t trust or respect those who don’t follow what they say others should be doing. It creates a barrier between the image and the reality and makes the person look fake. By serving as a role model, you show a real example of how things that you share positively influence you and the people around you.

1. Be a good role model for your family, the team, and the greater community.
   Role models act so that others might follow them or achieve specific outcomes.

2. Give without any expectations of return.
   To obtain influence, share information, knowledge, and advice that will benefit those around you. Giving something before asking for a favor or help increases the odds of your success.
