Leadership+Philosophy

October/November 2010

**Leadership philosophy statement** //Student Service Oriented//

To make a philosophy short and sweet it I believe that my leadership abilities are to being able to serve with the students for the students today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my career. I promise to live my life the most ethically I can while serving the students. I will always demonstrate a passion for my work and those that I work with. I will put my values in the actions that I do and words that I say. I will reflect on what I’ve learned, and from my experiences and will necessary I will share those with those whom it will benefit. I will actively pursue one on my personnel life lessons: to do what I love. I want to follow a balanced leadership philosophy of formality to both students and administrators but maintain a good level of informality with majority of the students in which I educate, so I can be at trusted and relatable person in which students can sympathize with.

//Pledge//

I believe success is the freedom to be yourself and to seek to understand yourself and others. I will see diversity as a commonality and strive for human righteousness. I will teach myself and others to enjoy life. I want to teach my students to create the status quo instead of merely accepting it. I want my students realize the importance of living their imagination more than their memories. I want to show my students that I promise to do my part in their lives, to be a life teacher and stand beside them during the duration we are live and work together.

//Theorist Perspective//

From a theorist aspect I firmly believe that Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development and Schlossberg’s Transition Theory best reflect my opinions in regards to student college development. Schlossberg’s transition theory is a large contributor of my views on student development as it has practical resource for assisting college students in dealing with change (Evans, 225). Kohlberg’s moral development is also a basic foundation in my beliefs in cognitive development at any university institution.
