Personal Philosophy

Introduction

The philosophy today is the activity of searching through reason, knowledge that is not accessible through science. There are questions that science cannot answer, because science is the field that only deals with the accumulation of the evidence regarding a particular study.

Philosophical activity consists of reading philosophy and looks for a field or a question you or other philosophers have left unanswered, or whose answer seems unsatisfactory. Personal philosophy is a sum total of all that you know and what you think is the most valuable. It just depends on what you know and what you think is valuable.

Leadership today has grown significantly from where it initially started. Making way from the times of the Mughal Empire to the Chinese Dynasty to the infamous generations that prevailed at the time of the Pharaohs in Egypt, all had their own distinct objectives, motives and understanding, which were chalked, crafted and aligned with the otherwise long-term targets and achievements that these people individually had to undertake (Judge and Gerhardt, 2002).

Personal philosophy is determined by mindsets that are mainly of two types; growth mindset and fixed mindset. Those who adopt the growth mindset believe that they inherently can always play better and have a high potential, experience and leadership to exploit. They are convinced that through hard work and incorporated improvements to the tools of their philosophy, they will become respected leaders. By contrast, people with a fixed mindset believe that they can only move as far as their natural talent allowed. They believe that there is a "glass ceiling" that cannot penetrate through hard ...
