In this paper, I will be discussing my own leadership philosophy, along with the topics that were covered in the interview with the Commander. These topics are leadership philosophy, challenging of leadership, handling of issues, decision process, knowledge of the job, and handling conflicts.
My Leadership philosophy is described as involvement and supportive. What I mean by involvement is knowing how people are doing their jobs, how each one is doing in their day to day life and understanding how everyone is different and unique. It is important to understand the different ways to approach each individual as not everyone responds to the situation the same way when being questioned concerning an issue, their performance or being given praise. By promoting personal and professional growth and providing the necessary training, people are inclined to be more willing to make decisions as long as there is no micromanaging occurring.
The supportive side of my philosophy is being there to help when needed and being positive when things are not going right. As a leader, you must support your people even if you would have done it differently as long as the right thought process created the best decision for the situation. “In fact, most of these decisions involve “right versus right,” and the decision may be different …show more content…

Trade and exchange: the act of buying and selling goods, services, and ideas. Trade has been important to people so that they can obtain materials that they don’t originally have, and inherit new ideas and beliefs. Trade was such a huge part of the Olmec culture because the Olmec society was in swampy area Mexico, so trading was necessary to them because they only had limited materials available, and needed to trade for goods needed in order to survive. In the Roman Empire, there was a time known as the Pax Romana, which means Roman Peace, in which trade helped keep the peace. Christianity was founded from Judaism in Jerusalem.

My leadership philosophy is to my empower subordinates to make decisions and accept some risk when doing so. I value training, mentoring, and developing confident, competent leaders. I believe that to retain quality Soldiers, I need to providing tough, realistic, quality training to keep them engaged in the unit mission. I believe in “powering down”, I trust my subordinates and peers to make competent decisions. I am not a believer in a “zero-defects” mentality; generally, we learn more from honest mistakes than we do from success, and without accepting an appropriate level of risk to seek innovative solutions to complex problems, we will not achieve the level of excellence, which we are capable.

Leadership Philosophy What is Leadership? Leadership is not a common concept to consider on your own. You’re taught at a young age that you follow someone until a task is presented to you in which those who have led feel you’re prepared to take the next step, at which time you sink or swim. Leadership to me is so much more than being tasked with getting your group from point A to point B. It involves understanding, sympathy, courage, and a willingness to go outside the typical roles that have been set forth before us and shatter it to model the complex situations that we are faced with on a regular basis.

Leadership is something that every collective society will need regardless of its make-up. I try to lead in the things I am able to. Being a leader is more than just bossing people around and getting what you want all of the time, it is understanding the needs of all the people involved and creating progress for the good of all. Leadership is not always easy, especially when no one in a group views a situation remotely the same. I attended a school where there was very little diversity in terms of race but, very typical of other types of diversity.

Over my twenty-year career, the core aspects of my leadership philosophy have been constant while other parts evolved with me, as I changed jobs and responsibilities and while I matured and gained new perspectives. Mahatma Gandhi said it best, “You have to be the change that you want to see in the world.” In keeping with the military’s practice of conducting after action reviews after military exercises, I hope my written leadership philosophy will become a contract to keep me in check and ensure I “walked the talk.”
