Leading B'Yond Example
Stefan Speligene • April 7, 2017
“The reality is that the only way change comes is when you lead by example”
– Anne Wojcicki
I used to think that leading by example was good enough until I had kids. Then I realized that showing and sharing the reasons behind the example helped my boys understand and helped me to be a more effective influence.
As leaders, we often leverage position and control instead of example and influence. That may have been effective in the past but more people in the workplace (and children) want to understand the reasons.
So anticipating a child’s question about why we do it that way and sharing the reason on the front end will better prepare us to explain and not control the coaching opportunity.
I like to call it Leading B’Yond Example and even though it’s more difficult and time consuming our impact will be clearer and last longer.

We’re back with another creative croux feature. Normally, these pieces are put together by one of our freelance writers, Annie Van Essen, but this time, we’re spotlighting her!
Roux celebrates Mardi Gras 2024 and 10 years of good times, Louisiana roots, food, creativity and community.
Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.
This year, we decided to take our merry-making to the streets of Nashville to see how well the average passerby could interpret some of our favorite Creole vocab. The results were… entertaining. See for yourself!
Every year, our croux puts together a roundup of our favorite Super Bowl commercials.
This time around, we thought we’d switch it up and ask for submissions of our team’s favorite commercials EVER. Whether from 2023 or 2003, we want to celebrate the advertising magic of Super Bowl Sunday.
Here at roux, we have a wonderful team of creatives supporting us, including photographers, videographers, writers, and designers.
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Kyle Sorvick, one of the talented graphic designers we work with as part of our extended croux.
Roux shares Christmas greetings from partners and friends, celebrating creativity, connection and the holiday season.
