Personal Leadership Philosophy

Why should you have a Personal Leadership Philosophy?

§ “Before you can effectively lead others, you have to understand who you are, where you come from and the values that guide you.

§ People want to know your values and beliefs, what you really care about and what keeps you awake at night.

§ They want to know who most influenced you, the events that shaped your attitudes and the experiences that prepared you for the job.

§ They want to know what drives you, what makes you happy, and what ticks you off.

§ They want to know what you’re like as a person and why you want to be their leader. They want to understand your personal story.

§ They want to know why they ought to be following you.”

IMPORTANT NOTE

The following personal leadership philosophies are examples from Oprah Winfry, Bill Gates, and Pat Summit.

They were developed by your professor to provide examples based on quotes, life events, etc. and are NOT actual statements that these well-known leaders have made about their leadership philosophy.

Leadership inspires others to be their best selves through communication, relationships, resilience, and integrity.

Leadership is about pushing the boundaries of conventional knowledge. Through persistence ambition, and innovation, we can create tomorrow’s solutions to today’s problems.

I believe in discipline and that we show who we are when we outwork others.

I believe that attitude is a choice and that what we think we can do, negative or positive, will most likely happen.

I believe that to be successful you must accept full responsibility.

I believe that teamwork involves working through the struggles, the setbacks, and the heartaches to reap the rewards.

I believe that in facing our weaknesses we find our strength.

Dr. Clark’s Leadership Philosophy

Leadership is getting others to do that which they believe is

impossible to do.

Leadership is seeing in others their potential even when they do not and developing that potential to achieve the believed impossible.
