My Leadership Philosophy
My leadership philosophy is based by my earlier life and work experience, my college education, my personal core values and my perception of the world.

For example, my weaknesses are: a situation that may alter my normal routine frightens me, I doubt myself and I contemplate if I am incapable to do a new task.

As a leader I will help people overcome their flaws and guide them to focus and reinforce their strengths by sharing my earlier experiences. I understand we are humans and make mistakes, but as a leader I will not punish but reflect the situation with the employee and work together to learn from it and find a solution to prevent it from happening again because the way I see it mistakes are just an opportunity to learn. Also, I will praise when an employee does a task right or goes beyond their normal assignment since I know how it feels when managers notice my good work.

To me honesty is the greatest way to build a healthy relationship and it contributes to a positive mindset. Optimistic thinking is one of my favorite core values because not every bad circumstances has to be a negative experience, all it takes is for me to alter my perception and I find a positive outlook. As a leader I will carry out my core values into the
workplace.
For the most part I reflect over my childhood, being an immigrant from Mexico, living in a dysfunctional family to having my parents go through therapy and after several years of change finally live in a healthy relationship with my family, it has giving me an insight that most people will never acquire. Therefore, as a leader I will be understanding, I will be respectful and I will take responsibility for my actions.
My leadership philosophy is not a final copy but it is an ongoing process that will be refined and altered based on new ideas and knowledge as I go through different stages of life.
