Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.
To Prepare:
- Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
- Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
- Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
- Download your Signature Theme Report to submit for this Assignment.
The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Personal Leadership Philosophies
Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:
- A description of your core values.
- A personal mission/vision statement.
- An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
- A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen.
- A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
- Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

Title of Paper Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Introduction is approximately 1/3 page in length
Personal Leadership Philosophies Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length
I would recommend discussing/defining what a personal leadership philosophy is and what is represents and why it is important when developing skills and characteristics as a leader. Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. The response accurately and thoroughly describes in detail a set of core values. The response accurately and completely describes in detail a personal mission/vision statement. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS SECTION IS: DEVELOP A PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY AND REFERENCE IT. INCLUDE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEADER IN THE PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT. THE NEXT THING YOU NEED IS A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CORE VALUES WITH REFERENCES. THEN YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT WITH REFERENCES.
CliftonStrengths Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length
An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile. The response accurately and completely provides an analysis and detailed summary of the CliftonStrengths Assessment. Ensure your information is validated with current and credible citations/references. Identify and describe in detail one key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year). Identify and describe in detail a second key behavior that you wish to strengthen and why (references, year).
Development Plan Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1 ½ pages long
*****Remember this section is 50% of your paper.
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT EXPLAINS – How you are going to improve upon the first key behavior you selected and provide references in a paragraph to validate this information. NEED EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES.
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN THT EXPLAINS – How are you going to improve upon the second key behavior you selected and provide references in a paragraph to valdiate this information. NEED EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES.
What is a vision with references? YOU CAN COPY THE SAME MISSION OR VISION STATEMENT YOU USED IN THE PHILOSOPHY SECTION OF THIS PAPER. Then you are to provide an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision/mission. This plan should be about two paragraphs in length and validated with references. Be specific and provide examples. Combine with literature review or keep separate as identified below. The response includes a comprehensive synthesis of information gleaned from sources that fully support how to achieve a personal vision. Integrates 2 or more credible outside sources, in addition to 2 or 3 course-specific resources to fully support the responses provided. ****remember there are four (4) to five (5) references in this section of the paper. THE MOST MISSED REQUIREMENT IS NOT SUMMARIZING TWO LIT REVIEWS AND THEN HAVING AT LEAST TWO TO THREE MORE REFERENCES TO VALIDATE THE INFORMATION.
Conclusion Comment by Elaine Wheeler Townsley: Approximately 1/3 page in length.
Your conclusion/summary is your chance to have the last word on the subject. The summary allows you to have the final say on the issues you have raised in your paper, to synthesize your thoughts, to demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and to propel your reader to a new view of the subject. It is also your opportunity to make a good final impression and to end on a positive note. Your summary can go beyond the confines of the assignment. This section pushes beyond the boundaries of the prompt and allows you to consider broader issues, make new connections, and elaborate on the significance of your findings. You should make your readers glad they read your paper and gives your reader something to take away that will help them see things differently or appreciate your topic in personally relevant ways. It can suggest broader implications that will not only interest your reader, but also enrich your reader’s life in some way. It is your gift to the reader.

Catherine Nwosu SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 12-24-2020
Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people are those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families.
A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind your consistent successes.
Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 34 themes measured, these are your "top five."
Your Signature Themes are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. By focusing on your Signature Themes, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.
Learner You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
Intellection You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a

problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life.
Harmony You look for areas of agreement. In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In your view we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can.
Input You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information—words, facts, books, and quotations—or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite
