My Leadership Philosophy

The foundation of all of my leadership philosophy is centered on the four strategies of character, consistency, collaboration, and communication. With these four strategies, I also have the goal to gain trust, respect and integrity. In education, times change, as well as students and staff. From the book entitled, “The Saber-Tooth Curriculum,” the author quotes, “there were progressives and progressives in the past and that the best prediction indicates there will be progressives and progressives in the future. Progressives with new purposes and old machines, progressives with new machines and old purposes, progressives with old machines and purposes plus a few new verbalizations to make them less forlorn, and others (Peddiwell, 2004, p. 46).What …show more content…

One could earn my trust and respect by being honest and of good character, making sound and appropriately timed decisions, owning up to your mistakes, clearly communicating their thoughts or ideas, meeting deadlines, and most importantly putting the interests of other staff ahead of their own personal desires to do great things. Peddiwell (2004) states that education should continue to grow along with every other change, so that it remains relevant and helpful to the people (p.33). People are always so quick to downplay or oppose an idea from someone else when they are not really looking at the big picture when all is …show more content…

I would expect for someone to offer their best strategies and goals in order to promote new innovate ideas and solutions to problems. What I have learned throughout course work is that the best leaders in education use multiple frames to problem solve. The authors Bolman & Deal from the book entitled, “Reframing The Path to School Leadership,” logs many passages between a novice and seasoned principal. Some of the most important facts included reframing challenges, which bring clarity, anticipate problems, and also lead to more powerful strategies for the future. The four frames consisted of the political frame, where conflict was a constant source of renewal; the human-resource frame, where sharing individual needs nurtures a sense of ownership; the structural frame, where clear organizational standards and goals lead to greater productivity; and the symbolic frame, where culture cultivate shared values and meanings (Bolman & Deal,

Response #1: What is your instruction leadership philosophy? My philosophy begins with contemplating the myriad responsibilities that administrators supervise, delegate, and perform on a daily basis. If education were a slow-moving entity, these responsibilities would be easy to manage. The reality is that education is a fast-moving enterprise where decisions are made and judged in the moment.

My leadership philosophy primarily aligns with Senge’s (2013) disciplines within an effective learning organization that effective leaders develop to create “a new wave of experimentation and advancement” (2013, p. 11) within the STEM curricula, foster lifelong learning for my colleagues, student-participants, and I that extends beyond the organization (2013), which are necessary to adapt to the ever changing realities for organizations (Schramm-Pate, 2016). In adapting to these ever changing realities for organizations (2016), an effective leader develops the following disciplines: building a shared vision; personal mastery; team learning (Senge, 2013); and reflection (Murphy, 2013). Leadership is a process by which an individual induces a group to pursue an objective shared by the leader and his or her followers (Gardner, 2013). This objective shared by the leader and his or her followers is a vision that must be genuine (Senge, 2013). With a genuine vision, an organization is successful, because people excel and learn without being told to do so (2013).

A leader is a visionary, one who can lead a team or group of people into the future, one who see solutions and greater potential in a certain area. A leader always lives before his/her time, they see how things should operate before it becomes a reality. I do believe that I was born to be a leader. There have been serval times, where I worked with a group of people, and always emerged as the leader. I never force leadership, but most times, it just happens naturally.

Leadership is something that has always come naturally to me. As the oldest of five children, and the oldest of over thirteen cousins just on one side of the family; I had declared myself the boss early on and found it easy to accept responsibility for things and tell others what to do. I always thought leadership was naturally inherited from whatever experiences one has as a child and their upbringing. Well, this class broke down that barrier and allowed me to see how that belief is very archaic. It was eye opening to realize that leadership is so much more than just trying to be over everyone else and telling others what to do.

My core beliefs and values, along with the knowledge I have received through the business courses, have guided me through shaping my leadership philosophy, which is to lead by example. I will apply my philosophy with my actions and work ethics. As a leader, I understand that I am part of the team and I am willing and able to complete tasks that are given to me. A leader who lacks the initiative and discipline will not motivate their followers to complete their work and risk losing the respect of their colleagues. Respect, in my opinion, is a major factor in being a good leader and is another part of my philosophy.

1. Leadership to me is not just a title or a person in a position, but is the level of influence a person has on others. It is behaviors that a person exude that—whether intentional or not, have an impact on others. As a position, leadership and a leader has the responsibility to guide and accomplish a particular mission, and as a person, a leader must have an influence in order to be affective. I define leadership as a trait, along with an ability to influence others. Leadership should be a positive influence, as everyone has the ability to be influential; a positive leader should inspire others through example and encourage others to be their best in and out of uniform— to excel in all areas of their lives.

A leader is not only one that knows where to go, but shows others where to go. A leader inspires those around them to do more, become more, and learn more. They seek out the potential that you cannot already see, and they guide you to use it. Leadership doesn’t come with power or education. Leadership is defined through the effect one has inflicted on others.
