Exemplary Leadership

We spent the last week looking at various leadership styles. We will continue to do so this week as well. I would like to try to focus on ones that I have come up with and given names to.


Exemplary leadership is part of a speech I gave on leadership. It is similar to a servant leader however it isn't all about serving it is about setting examples and then making sure your followers are guided by your examples, integrity and unselfishness.

Being an exemplary leader means you forge a path through the storm. You are the front runner setting examples for your followers and through it all maintaining a high level of integrity and honesty. An example of an exemplary leader are those people who were willing to sacrifice it all to help those devastated by the earthquake in Haiti. They went to Haiti and gave of their time and money unselfishly. They lead by example carrying with them the following principles.

·         Exemplary leaders set the example for their followers

·         Exemplary leaders live by a moral code that breeds humility and unselfishness.

·         Exemplary leaders have a positive attitude and give all they have to overcome the storms in life.

If you live by a humble moral code and set an example with a positive attitude you are an exemplary leader.
