Assignment: Personal Leadership

Philosophies

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the

industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as

Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However,

you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership

without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of

commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership

philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their

behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to

adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own

leadership.

To Prepare:

 Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that

evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.

 Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for

review.

 Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results

relate to your leadership traits.

The Assignment (2-3 pages):

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are

characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to

support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the

following:

 A description of your core values

 A personal mission/vision statement

 An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile

 A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen

 A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors

you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be

specific and provide examples.

 

 Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment

from this Module’s Discussion 2.
