hypocrisy in leadership get you no where

When thinking about leaders what do you remember the things they say or the things they do? Often times we look at both of these things.  When a leader says something and does another they loose credibility. If a leader wants to be a true leader they must stand strong by their words and their actions.  Followers will go off the example they are given.  A leader needs to check what they are doing and make sure they are following the rules they have set, the examples they have given, and participating in all activities they are asking others to do.  If you are the kind of leader that doesn't stand by what you say you will find out soon that you are all alone. You can't judge others on if they are getting something because you may be the problem due to the example you are setting for them to follow.
