Actions speak louder than words. What we do means infinitely more than what we say. Actions back and support what we say or believe. It has been estimated that 97% of communication is non-verbal. Consider two real life examples.
Actions:
Canadian delegates walk out of UN in protest as the leader of Iran begins his speech. The message is clear. Others follow. Words: unnecessary.
Words:
Al Gore, environmental activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, establishes a legacy on the proclamation of the destruction that mankind is doing to the environment, but lives in a home that uses twice as much electricity as an average U.S. household uses in an entire year. The message is contradictory. Words: hypocritical.
Regardless of your opinion on these issues, which is the better example of leadership?
"We must become the change we want to see." Mahatma Gandhi
