A project manager's behavior symbolizes how other people should work on a project. Often when faced with uncertainty, employees look to managers for cues/best practices and demonstrate a propensity to mimic the behavior of people they respect. Please recite a specific time when a manager (preferably, or teacher) of yours led by example - meaning they embodied or did themselves what they asked of you. Because let's be honest - nothing is worse than having a manager ask you to do something that they wouldn't do themselves So if you have ever been lucky enough to have a boss who "gets their hands dirty" and does not live in their office, it's refreshing, and I'd love to hear about it
