What's the key to developing a team that consistently delivers? There are many skills and factors that come into play, but one of the most important skills of extracting the expected behaviours, attitudes, and work ethic from your team, is by setting the example yourself. Show integrity by making ethical decisions, be transparent, and lead by example. Although it may seem effective yet simple, it often gets forgotten about.
