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.

A leadership philosophy is an individual’s belief system that guides their behavior and actions as a leader. It is a set of values, principles, and beliefs that a leader uses to lead and influence others. A leadership philosophy can include beliefs about how to communicate, how to inspire and motivate others, how to make decisions, and how to handle conflicts. It is a personal and individual approach to leadership that is unique to each leader. A leadership philosophy can be developed through experience, education, and reflection, and can evolve and change over time.
