My Personal Leadership Philosophy and How it has Developed As a leader I am very unique. I hold strong personal values in the areas of trust, respect, and responsibility. I believe that no one person should be responsible for someone else, but that we have to grow up and learn to take care of ourselves. Prior to this course, I perceived leaders as people who told a group of people what to do in order to accomplish a task. When I was put in a leadership position I was always effective, but I never really took the thoughts or feelings of others into consideration.…
My definition of leadership is very simple: leadership is having the ability to mobilize and empower a group towards a common goal. I find that with a much general definition of leadership as a base, it allows for different styles and theories to come from it. My preferred leadership style, for example, is the servant leadership model. The servant leadership model was formalized by Robert K. Greenleaf. My leadership model, as similar as it may be to that of Greenleaf's, came from home.…
I must be able to trust that people are telling me the truth. When integrity is compromised there is no trust and we cannot build or maintain the relationship that needs to exist in leading…
My Leadership philosophy entails respect, integrity and family. Respect was always present during my childhood and throughout my adulthood. Every visit to my grandparents I watched my parents listen to and care for them whether they wanted to or not, I felt the respect through compassion, it was phenomenal! My parents instilled in me respecting yourself and others that have reached their pinnacle in life can help you to achieve your end goals. They have intuition & worldly knowledge, they have been where we are trying to get; why do you think they are so happy with the outcome of their lives.…

I believe a leader should possess characteristics such as transparency and be a good follower to lead effectively.…
A leader is someone who uses their power for the good of others. They use leadership to show all of the leaders within a group. The entire freshmen class are leaders, some people just need their leadership to be brought out. A leader’s impact should not only remain when they are present, but it should last long after their absence. The word “leadership” should not be used as a title or adjective; the word “leadership” should be used as a constant action of helping others.…

I anxiously looked out the window at the familiar sites: cows grazing, tractors roaring, and palmetto bushes gently swaying in the summer breeze. Then, the classroom door squeaked. A statuesque woman walked in, Mrs. Able, our new teacher. She smiled and immediately announced: “You can do anything in life, as long as you want to learn and care about others!” Mrs. Able, while not the last teacher to inspire me, was the first.…
Many know me as a leader. I am a leader in my soccer team; they consider me a captain! I am a leader at school; they consider me the Senior Class President! I am a leader in my youth group; they consider me a proud leader of the truth! A leader is someone who is ready to take control; to guide or someone who is self-assured.…
Ever since I started high school my freshman year, I was always interested in having some kind of leadership role in the clubs that interested me. Unfortunately I wanted until my junior to take up any leadership positions. However, these leadership positions have changed me for the good, and I will forever be thankful for it. Taking up these roles forced me to step outside of my comfort zone, which in turn made me a more bubbly, less shy person. Also, I can tell it has affected how I work at my job.…
Dr. Martin Luther King said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. In the time of need your leadership skills should outweigh your fear or anything else. Being a leader means you can step up at anytime and direct people to do important things. Dr. King was a leader and in times of pressure he definitely showed up and presented his leadership. Being a leader is a job for people who are confidence in everything they do and will do anything to get their or their people point across.…

• Leadership is the process of influencing people to act and/or think in a specific way by means of providing: direction, purpose, and motivation. • I chose to define leadership in such a way for several reason. First off, the definition states that leadership is a process because it requires the leader to take action. Therefore, I believe that a laissez faire style of leadership would not constitute as leadership, because the leader is not taking action. Next, the leader takes action by clearly communicating guidance and direction to their followers.…
My personal philosophy of leadership is quite simple, and based upon past and current work experiences, and observations. The U.S. General, H. Norman Schwarzkopf once stated, “Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy. " General Schwarzkopf’s quote pretty much sums up my philosophy of leadership.…
My leadership philosophy is one that is rooted in the strong belief that it must be a continuous quest to motivate all students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners, while possessing outstanding character. This includes assisting students with discovering their talents and interests, therefore developing a love of learning, while developing into ethical, productive citizens. Accomplishing this requires a leader who is knowledgeable in pedagogy and curriculum, including the use of data and current assessments to enhance instruction, and who possesses outstanding communication skills, the ability to manage an operation’s resources effectively, promotes collaboration and teamwork, and is passionate and committed to helping students learn.
