Leadership Philosophy Research Paper

Leadership is inspiring and influencing people around you as a leader, it is a verb not a noun in other words leadership is an action. My leadership philosophy based on five foundations: building relationship, leading by example, selfless service, creating leaders not followers and communication.
Building relationship with soldiers that you lead is very important to build a solid team. It helps leaders understand and knowing soldiers situations and issues. It also makes soldiers listen to their leaders and follow instructions and do excellent work as team because they like their leaders and they don’t want him to fail.
Being a good leader you need to be a good example for your followers, be truthful in your words and actions, a good leader don’t say
something and do another, being a good example make you a good leader that soldiers want to follow, acknowledge your failure because it is a path toward success and doing things better.
Selfless service is putting the welfare of subordinates before yours. It is one of a good leader characteristics, a leader should always serves his subordinates without thought of recognition. A selfless service leader gain trust and recognition from his followers because they know that their leader will take care of them without asking and being present by placing their welfares first. To lead is to serve and be ready to give your best to those who follow you, as a result, leader creates a healthy work environment full of energy and also a team players who are willing to sacrifice for each other. A selfless leader should always be out front and never ask his followers to do what he can’t do himself. Selflessness is very challenging for a lot of leaders, it requires competence and sacrifice.

Being a leader in an organization you need assistance and advice from your peers subordinates and superiors, so a good leader always need to create leaders not followers in order to replace him when he can’t lead anymore due to any circumstances.
In addition, creating leaders not followers put a new blood in an organization and make it lasts, it means new leaders who will provide new ideas and energy to an organization.
Effective communication is key for success in any organization. A good leader has to be a good communicator who deliver a clear message to his audience. A bad communication can lead into a bad decision either from a leader or his followers.in addition, building a good team that work together requires having individuals who communicate well and effective which result of having a strong organization that can face any type of challenge.
Finally, successful leader should always invest his time in an origination he work for and having foundations of his leadership. Without building relationship, leading by example, selfless service, creating leaders not followers and communication, it will be hard to build a solid and strong organization, but you will build a weak and fragile organization
instead.
