(A) ASSIGNMENT
Credo on Personal Leadership Philosophy: 1 page in length. ZERO PLAGIARISM
Instructions
This philosophy should be only 1 page in length. ZERO PLAGIARISM
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.
Here is an example of a leadership philosophy submitted by a student in a previous semester. If you would like to use this format, please feel free to do so. This can be used as a guide as well.
