Understanding and Developing A Leadership Philosophy Workplace Scenario You are advancing toward an interview for a position as care manager in an adult care facility. Recruiters have your resume on file and are now requesting an additional cover letter in advance of the interview. The purpose of the cover letter is to elaborate on your personal leadership philosophy. Part I: Cover Letter Create a 1-page cover letter that includes the following: • Describe your personal leadership philosophy. • Justify how your leadership style and emotional intelligence contribute to your personal leadership philosophy. Part II: Elevator Speech Congratulations! You have been offered the position of care manager. Because having a written leadership philosophy is so highly valued in this environment, you must be able to refine your personal leadership philosophy to its essence so that you can communicate it to staff members and others in a succinct, cogent, and clear fashion. This briefer statement of your leadership philosophy will inspire organizational leaders, cue your staff to your expectations, and enable you to create a culture of accountability among your staff. Provide a 30-second recorded elevator speech that persuasively communicates your personal leadership philosophy to staff and organizational leaders. Access the following resources to understand elevator speeches. Your final submission needs to be in one of the following formats: SWF, MPG, MPEG, RM, MP3, MP4, M4V, M4A, AVI, WAV, RAM, ASF, MOV, or RA.
