Ken Flowers suggests answering these three questions to clarifiy your leadership philosophy (which he came across on George Ambler’s blog):

What you believe about people …
What you believe about life …
What you believe makes groups and organizations effective …

I’d add these questions:

How closely do my actions match what I say I believe?

If my actions don’t match my beliefs, how is that working for me?

If I really believed what I wrote, how would I act?

(You can read Ken’s answers to the first three questions on his blog.)
