Personal Leadership Philosophy

Leadership evolves. Philosophies developed a priori and applied to a given organizational context are apt to fail. By definition, a leadership philosophy, let alone a personal one, emerges in response to variables making up a specific organizational behavior. Accordingly, in order to develop a personal leadership philosophy one should, above anything else, cater for organizational needs both at corporate and individual levels. Personally, I aspire for a leadership philosophy based on strict definition of raison d'être. By identifying core purpose for which an organization exists, I would be able to develop a sustainable leadership philosophy. Indeed, companies, successful ...
