Everyone says the best leadership is leadership by example. So I see some bosses go all the way down to the ground, and many even below the ground. They work, suffer and toil as hard as the workers. Some think that leadership by example means the boss accepts the same pay as the staff. Others say that the leader has to arrive at the office earlier than everyone and leaves later than everyone. There are some who assert that a leader is leading by example when he is there to solve all the team's problems and assumes all blames. If the above principles of leadership by example is true, who wants to be a leader? The leader is the worst of all, he suffers the most and enjoys the least. No wonder many people in Singapore are afraid of stepping up as they fear leadership by example. Truth be told, leadership by example is none of the above. If you follow great leaders like Genghis Khan, Steve Job and Sun Tzu, you'll realize that leadership by example is about one and only
