Jarom 1

"And it came to pass that they came many times against us, the Nephities, to battle. But our kings and our leaders were mighty men in the faith of the Lord; and they taught the people the ways of the Lord; wherefore, we withstood the Lamanites and swept the away out of our lands, and began to fortify our cities, or whatsoever place of our inheritance."

The kings and leaders of the Nephites were "mighty men in the faith of the Lord." They weren't mighty by themselves, but mighty in the Lord. They taught their people their ways of the Lord. They strengthened their people through teaching them the principles of God which people would be blessed from.

We are each leaders in different ways. Perhaps you are responsible for a group project, or perhaps you lead your home. Maybe you are a leader in the workforce or political realm. In each of those instances and many more, you can incorporate moral values such as integrity, honesty, agency and accountability, charity, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to preach to people your beliefs. It just means you put into practice and encourage righteous action, because doing what is right and good is always beneficial.
