Good leaders must lead by example - not just talk without action.
Tips
history
Combines 《淮南子·氾论训》 圣人以身体之 ('the sage experiences it with his own body') and 《礼记·中庸》 力行近乎仁 ('vigorous action is close to benevolence'). Confucian, the idea that knowing isn't enough without doing.
usage
Strongly positive; used to praise someone (often a leader, teacher, or parent) who matches words with actions. Often paired with 率先 (to take the lead) or contrasted with 言行不一 (words and deeds don't match).
