Lesson in learning
In high school we had a class quote, my class was one by Gandhi. It was one about being the change you want to see in the world. This is a qoute that I think a leader should know and stand by because if a leader isn't looking to make a statement about what they are trying to do then is that person really a leader or are they a follower? So to say you want to change something for the better but nit acting in the same matter, are you really wanting to see that change or just trying to impress people by your words?

I agree with you here. Like you said you can't say what everone else needs to do and then not act in the same way and still be considered a leader. We say that a leader is someone who can inspire and motivate people but I also feel that a true leader is someone who leads by example. If they want people to act in a certain way then they also act in that way. If they want people to do things and do them in a certain way then that is how they do them. If people see how you act and do things and it works, then they're going to do the same things. You can't just state what needs to happen, you need to show those working for you what needs to happen and that it works in order to be considered a true leader.
