Most organizations have some sort of vision or mission statement that guides its members and focuses their work. These statements help keep the organization on track and pointed toward clearly articulated goals. A written leadership philosophy achieves the same thing on a personal level: it lets people around you know what you expect, what you value, and how you’ll act. Additionally, it acts as a compass to help keep you, the leader, on course. In essence, your leadership philosophy will make public your understanding of who you are as a leader.
