Personal Leadership Philosophies
Leaders influence and change how others work toward achieving individual or organizational goals. Griffin (2018) noted that sometimes leadership strategies fail to yield the intended results based on how the organization is compatible or based on the project goals. Because the work environments are diverse, leaders’ methodologies in executing various tasks depend mainly on their multiple philosophies. My drive depends on the motivators that focus on working hard, solving problems, and uniting juniors or fellow workers. I have my vision and mission that I follow to achieve my set plans and goals that are by Clifton’s strengths. I have also used these strengths to develop a development plan and approaches to escalate and strengthen the objectives.
As a leader, I use various core values to improve my strategies and approach to meeting individual and organizational goals. The first core value is being innovative, particularly in this technology age. As Cortellazzo et al. (2019) noted, leadership approaches are expected to improve when networking, internet technology, and social media advance. I apply practical and straightforward techniques to ensure employees are trained while teams can be creative through computing systems. Enabling the teams to use computing systems helps keep them innovative and updated regarding changes in the working environment.
Other values I focus on include justice, rewards, mentorship, training, determination, and faithfulness. Jimenez (2017) and Griffin (2018) revealed that these core aspects propel individuals to work tirelessly to achieve the best results. Training and mentorship are core aspects that guarantee work improvement, especially in complex work environments. New strategies and approaches to organizational and management work emerge daily, requiring employees to adjust to adapt. As a leader, I focus on being open to such and many more options and identifying the importance of the firm’s success. Mentorship goes hand in hand with training to ensure that the workers are competent. Rewards and justice are other approaches aiming to satisfy fairness needs, irrespective of the employee’s qualifications or rank.
My mission as a leader is to have a unique strategy for organizational management that all workers would seamlessly deliver. My vision is to influence responsibility, integrity, and equality practice. The mission and vision statements can be achieved by developing transformative characters at the workplace and ensuring that the environment is a learning platform, a goal-oriented company, and a haven of hope. I focus on a proper plan and structure aimed at mending these weaknesses, understanding the psychology of the employees, and balancing it against the outside environment.
Clifton’s strength has helped me understand the topmost strengths necessary to improve my leadership skills. First, responsibility has been my strength, whereby I take ownership of what I commit and follow it until it is done. Secondly, I am restorative, whereby I enjoy analyzing the signs and symptoms of failure while identifying the weaknesses that need to be addressed to find a solution. Consistency is the third strength, whereby I am focused on treating all people the same way no matter their ranks or qualifications. The fourth strength is positivity, whereby I am quick to smile, generous with praises, and mainly focus on the positive side in situations. Lastly, the Clifton strength indicated that I am an achiever who constantly needs to achieve the best results.
Apart from the strengths, the two behaviors I need to improve are the promotion of health competition and command behaviors. I must appropriately develop the right approach, especially restoring things when they go south. Despite intensive investigations for a long time, the restoration process sometimes does turn out differently than expected. Having healthy competition effectively reveals the weaknesses and strengths of each organization member. However, this has yet to be one essential focus for me. Therefore, I need to improve and change to yield better results.
Improving on these critical behaviors means reevaluating the essential weaknesses and difficulties I experience. I need to highlight why the restoration process is challenging for me and then develop strategies based on various healthy competition cases. I can set targets for my colleagues and even place rewards against each target. Such an approach and many more would allow a tactical approach through which I can work and even present an opportunity for every group member to apply innovative ideas to achieve them. Through doing all these, I reflect on missions and visions that remain working and unique to build myself into an emulated leader in the organization.
In conclusion, leadership principles help define various mechanisms needed for multiple goals to be achieved by different organizational members. These principles and philosophies vary based on the individual and particular firm but require proper strategies and execution to achieve the intended results. Personal mission, traits, and Clifton strengths help formulate the best approaches and plans to have exemplary leadership, be innovative, motivate organization members, and focus on correcting a leader’s weaknesses.
