Gone are the days of setting examples, modern day leaders are the example, they are an extension of their brand. The personal brand they are is mated to the corporate brand they represent. The staff live by the brand ethos, they too are ambassadors at their entry point. They too are leaders as they lead the stakeholders of the brand. Leadership is now in executive level, frontline management level and at key entry level.
If as an executive leader you fail to instill such behavioral thinking, know that you're out of sync with today's work environment. The shift is caused by competition of anchoring or mainstaying between man and robotics brought by the 4IR chapter. If you don't own your position, a robot will replace you. People are no longer satisfied by human experience alone, but rather by the aura of your workspace. Truth is, trust me, the face of leadership is still wearing a mask and once it's off, the transformation wave coming will awash all industries.
Fact is, it's no longer the managers who need to understand the inner workings of a business, but so is the entry level staffers. Those who get onto the wagon now will be the mainstayers as they'll be in tune with the strategy and informable about impediments to their earning dynamics. Those are the dream of any executive leader. Being a leader in these times a challenge that pokes at creative juices. Should you fail to make and keep them flowing are then in trouble as you'll be on your way out of business.
In conclusion: knowledgeable staff make for easy and quicker implementation of ideas and strategies, so is quicker their rise of income. Being informed translates to their increase in value that means a rise in wage bill to the employer, but that's better than a deadwooder demanding more than their worth...dp
