Part A- Leadership Philosophy
a) Analysis of Leadership Style
The style of leadership which is followed by me is “Democratic Leadership” wherein
I have involved others in the process of decision-making which assisted me in gaining more
knowledge on determining the project works. In the different projects which are performed
by us, in many cases, I was selected as the team leader, in such situations, I made sure that
communication is active in upward and downward direction as it included fairness, creativity,
honesty and intelligence. I always encouraged my team members in sharing their opinions
and ideas which has led to employee engagement and increased their morale.
b) Leadership Principles not Willing to Violate
There are certain principles of leadership which are being followed by me and I
cannot violate the same in any kind of circumstances that are described as follows:
Firstly, focusing on team building is the major aspect as the ethical type of leaders
helps in fostering the sense of community along with team spirit within the company. When
the ethical leaders try to achieve the goals, it is not regarding the personal goals, in such
scenarios, there are genuine efforts for achieving goals which will be benefitting the company
or the team and not just themselves.
Secondly, the respect for others is the other aspect or principle which is followed as
the ethical leaders show proper respect to all members in the team through listening to them
in an attentive manner. The ethical leader tries to maintain the principles wherein the
contributions of subordinates or the team members are being valued and they are generous in
considering the opposing viewpoints.

helps the employees in thriving and flourishing in such scenario. The ethical leaders try to
reward the different employees for generating innovative ideas and they are being praised for
taking the right steps at the right time and not waiting for others.
c) Impact of Personal Beliefs on Leadership Approach
According to me, the beliefs regarding leadership should be positive which needs to
include the inclusiveness and supportive aspects for nourishing leadership in yourself as well
as others. The supportive nourishing leadership is effective and it helps in achieving the goals
in an easy manner. Through proper and positive beliefs on leadership, it can be effective in
seeing the various possibilities for future and set a course for getting there. The different
personal beliefs are discussed as follows:
Firstly, the strong and efficient leadership aspects help in setting everyone up for
success which will suitable in achieving the goals.
Secondly, leadership is joyful and everyone has the leadership type of ability that can
be effective in achieving the successful results. The engaged employees are efficient in the
tasks performed by themselves as everyone has a skill of leadership inside them that
encourages them in managing their efficiency.
Lastly, leadership skills make useful and positive difference in the organizational
skills and it will be leading to the positive usage of power that encourages them in improving
the tasks performed by them and gain more insights on achieving goals successfully.

in such instances, there were one particular incident in which I was selected as the leader and
under me, there were five members. The main aspect of the group assignment was to conduct
a survey among our professors in understanding their viewpoints regarding a particular online
application. In such scenario, we all worked as a team and I did not try to act as an autocratic
leader. As all the members were my classmates, I tried to implement the democratic
leadership aspect and, in this manner, it was being informed as well.
In the respective scenario, it helps in strengthening the relationships between the team
members of the team and we performed well and achieved the goals efficiently. I feel that
due to the incorporation of the democratic leadership approach, I understood the meaning of
delegation of proper responsibility among the team members for facilitating the participation
of the members in process of decision-making. In addition, the strong team was being built as
the members were supportive and strong and collective working has been done for fostering
the creative environment.
Lastly, with incorporation of the democratic leadership, it has worked in an excellent
manner for solving complex issues. From the respective team work, it can be seen that I have
been suitable in understanding the team building exercises which helped me in improving the
effectiveness in finding solutions to complex problems in an appropriate manner.
