Questions to reflect on for your leadership point of view

A leadership point of view:

Leaders have a blueprint within their minds which represents what kind of leader they are, what they want to do and why they need to be a leader. Leaders  are human beings with values and worldviews shaped by their own experiences. In the best leaders, these values and experiences lead to a personal leadership philosophy—what I  like to call a leadership point of view. This concept comes from Ken Blanchard.
