There is a well known proverb which means something like this- If we don’t follow what we preach then the whole thing is in vain. While talking about motivation the same theory applied. Leaders cannot motivate their team members if they are not motivated themselves. We must not forget that leaders are also human beings and every human being needs to feel appreciated and motivated. I will share a quote I came across by John Wooden. He said, “The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own example”.
