Four years ago I wrote my first “Personal Philosophy of Leadership” paper. The personal leadership style I identified with, at that time, was the democratic style. I had chosen this style of leadership because of the teamwork, constructive criticism, motivation, good communication, dedication, and good attitude attributes of the democratic style. Four years later, being present time, I have learned and experienced a great deal more about leadership styles. I now think I identify with a mixture of both the democratic style for the attributes aforementioned, as well as the affiliative style for the relationship-building, freedom, creative, and focus on people attributes of the affiliative style. This paper examines the evolution and refinement of my chosen style of leadership, the philosophy that embodies this style, and the theoretical framework that guides this style.

I believe that leadership is not a state of being in charge, but rather your title as a leader comes from those believing and trusting in you. Just because you are in charge, doesn’t mean you are leading. A leader is continually inspiring and wanting those in their surroundings to excel even if that means they will surpass them on day. They must be providing a safe environment that makes those around them want to do better. People need to feel that they are being taken care of and that those above them have their best interest at heart.

Leadership roles have taught me many things throughout my primary school education.

Leadership has taught me to have patience. Though, not to be lax. You must still be persistent. Lastly, to be respected as a leader it is best to be stern but still approachable. An austere presence helps lead the best teams throughout tough situations.

One special day, Mr. Budke came to talk to our class. Mr. Budke gave all of us an interactive lecture on how to be the best leader we could be.
