"It's not what you SAY, it's what you DO that counts."

I'm sure you've heard that being said a million times. You may agree, and you may not.
However, the statement has been proven to be mostly true. Actions DO speak louder than words.
When there is inconsistency between words and actions, people tend to give greater credence to actions. It's behavior that counts!
The implications of this is that as managers and leaders, you are a role model. Employees will imitate your behaviors and attitudes. They will, for example, watch what you are doing and then imitate or adapt what you do. This doesn't mean that words do not have influence. But when words and actions diverge, people focus most on what they see in terms of behavior.

So, what is your behavior saying about you? Are you walking your talk?
