Written Assignment – Personal Philosophy of Education
This is a personal Vision and Mission Assignment. When we look at organizations from past and the present as well as apply conjecture into the future, obstacles will emerge, whether in (a) our career paths; (b) the way subordinates, colleagues, and superiors view us (c) our leadership style; and (d) the preparation needed to best accelerate our professional opportunities especially in a global and highly diverse world. Organizations are represented by people from a vast array of backgrounds and life experiences (i.e., personal, professional). Since we must work in a “diverse” world, introspection regarding our own leadership, communication, and thinking styles is key to understanding our successes and failures as leaders.
As an aspiring leader, it is critical that you understand leadership issues through many lenses. For this assignment, you are asked to create a personal philosophy addressing the topic “What Is Leadership and Who You are as a Leader.” In addition, you will need to include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources to support your positions.
Successful responses to this assignment should be relevant to your future as a leader, both personally and professionally. Through this assignment, you should learn more about yourself as well as be able to assess key characteristics of organizations. In your research, you should look at other future thinking organizations that are continually changing and redefining the way they conduct business and deal with the culture.
For this assignment, you may write in the first person where applicable (especially with your survey results).
Your paper will be organized with the bolded subtitles and the content as follows:
