A leadership philosophy is the way we see ourselves as leaders. This philosophy guides our actions, our behaviors, and our thoughts. Your personal leadership philosophy is influenced by external and internal forces. You can change who we are as a leader by simply changing your philosophy of leadership. Leadership philosophies can change as you grow to understand yourself within the context of leading. Creating or finding your leadership philosophy means that you must explore and reflect upon your personal values, assumptions, and beliefs about leadership.

What Should Your Leadership Philosophy Include?

– Personal values such as honesty, commitment, respect for others

– Description of how you will carry out your responsibilities

– What your priorities are

– What you expect of your people and how you will evaluate them

– What your people can expect of you

Throughout the process, follow the advice of General Ulysses S. Grant, who said “Write as if sending a telegram to a fool that will be prepaid by a miser.” In other words, be complete, but not verbose.

Credo on Personal Leadership

I promise to be the best that I can be. Getting to that stage requires not

compromising on the values that are important to me. I expect others to hold me

accountable when my actions do not reflect these values.

Values:

 Having a strong work ethic: I promise to produce high-quality work
consistently as well as be reliable and accountable for my work. I am
determined to succeed and enhance organizational success while encouraging
employees to do the same. I believe everything and anything is possible with
hard work.

 Kindness: I will treat people in a respectful, genuine manner even during
times of difficulty. I promise to try to make people’s days better, be inclusive
and give people the attention and time they deserve.

 Empowerment: I will give others what they need to be successful and give
the encouragement needed to meet goals.

 Integrity: I will not compromise on my morals to achieve goals, but will
stand up for what is right and to meet goals ethically, as well as encouraging
others to do the same. I will always refer to my morals when making
decisions.

 Empathy: I will remember we are all human. Everyone has something going

on and showing that I care about fellow team mates and what is important to
them. I will show employees that I am there for them through the good and
the bad and give them the support they need.

My priorities are to ensure that that my followers are challenged, engaged, and held
accountable for meeting the goals they have established for themselves the goals
established for the organization. Also, it is a priority to ensure that all employees have a
safe workspace where they feel comfortable sharing ideas as well as receiving
constructive feedback. I expect my team to be reliable, passionate, kind and go-getters.
Making sure they have the tools they need to succeed is important and I will ask for
feedback continually to evaluate their performance. I believe that encouraging open
communication is key to being successful. My team can expect me to present, guide
them, listen and provide them with the necessary tools to be successful. At the end of
the day, I want to be an inspiration to my teammates and fellow employees.
