My Leadership Style

In my EDL 610 course, which is Visionary Leadership, we are working on developing a leadership platform.  This is meant to be my leadership style post as I create this platform.

I am a firm believer in transparency, and ensuring everyone is in the know of where we are, and where we are going.  When a decision is made, I believe in sharing the 'why' of that decision so there can be greater understanding throughout the organization.  Before reaching that decision, though, I believe in bringing a team together to talk through the situation and talking through opportunities to solve the issue at hand.  I do not believe in edicts from on high, rather, involving others to come up with the best possible solution.  I believe in being open and honest, and of having an open door policy.

I am hopeful my colleagues see this leadership style in how I operate on a daily basis.  I believe in doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and involving others in that pursuit.  I hope to continue to model this leadership style and way of thinking.
