Developing a leadership philosophy involves several steps:
Self-Reflection: Understand your core values, beliefs, and principles. Ask yourself questions like "What type of leader do I want to be?" and "What values are non-negotiable for me?" Learning from Others: Study the leadership styles of successful leaders you admire. Read books, attend seminars, and engage in mentorship to gain insights. Feedback: Seek feedback from peers, mentors, and team members to understand how your actions align with your stated philosophy. Articulation: Clearly articulate your philosophy in a written document. This will serve as your leadership manifesto.
