An old Japanese proverb says: "Do in vain carve a Buddha if you do not breathe him the soul".This means that even the best organization will not help, if people are unmotivated. In other words, only motivated people can accomplish anything.Is a personal example of managers and leaders the best way to motivate?
Yes, in many cases we observe that : an effective and successful leader can motivate others toward reaching success.
Is a personal example of managers and leaders the best way to motivate? Yes, certainly yes. In addition, physical presence of managers and leaders matters.
As a manager, the team looks to you to lead by example, show direction, strength, and inspiration around you. This only happens when you present yourself as a real example of a good manager.
An ethical leader or manager is a role model for followers or employees. So, it is always imperative to exhibit ethical role modeling at all levels of an organization.
Yes...
How leaders influence their followers’ motivation through organizational justice...

I think that just personal example is the best way to establish mutual trust.
Dear Mr. Šarović!
You made a crucial point. The personal example of managers is an important factor. A manager is like a team leader - showing the way forward. Still in case a manager misses out someting, the organization might get into trouble. In so I would emphasize the learning culture of the organization /company/team:
"An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage." - Jack Welch in Beata Souders (2020).

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
A situational leader, well experienced with excellent emotional intelligence and managerial competencies.

Of course, we can be inspired and motivated by other people in the world. One of the instances is good role models. Their positive effect on us never will vanish.
"Good practise", as well as "practical benchmarking", are well known management and administration methods to follow.
Yes, an ethical leader is a role model of moral values and work ethic for his followers.
Yes the personal example of the leader can inpire. That said other factors have to be put in place as well. Creating the right work environment, proper training and development among others will definately help as well. The leader however plays a major role.
As a manager, do the work and know your trade. You don’t have to be the most advanced technician on the team, but you must have an in-depth understanding of your industry and your business. Leaders have many responsibilities, but it is important to work alongside your team. This is a great way to build trust and continue to develop your own knowledge and skills. https://www.inc.com/brent-gleeson/7-ways-to-lead-by-example.html
Actions do speak louder than words, but words can have a direct impact on morale. For better or for worse. Be mindful of what you say, to whom, and who is listening. Always show support for all team members. If someone needs extra guidance, provide it behind closed doors. https://www.inc.com/brent-gleeson/7-ways-to-lead-by-example.html
Listen to the team. As leaders, sometimes we are so consumed with providing directive, giving orders, and, well, talking that we forget to stop and listen. If the recruitment and training engine is functioning well, you should have a whole team of experts to turn to for advice. One sign of good leadership is knowing that you don’t know everything. Listen and get feedback from your team regularly. https://www.inc.com/brent-gleeson/7-ways-to-lead-by-example.html
I agree! Leaders should be good models in front of workers in an institution. A leader is a spearhead in his/her organization as it is already asserted in the management literature!!!
As a leader, part of your job is to inspire the people around you to push themselves – and, in turn, the company – to greatness. To do this, you must show them the way by doing it yourself.
