Introduction to Portfolio: Leadership Theory and Development
This portfolio showcases my development both as a leader and also someone learning about leadership. It contains documents such as my personal philosophy of leadership, my resume, and my personal development, spirituality, and growth as a leader.

It has made me aware of how I can apply theory to practice, and the usefulness of constructing leadership vision and value statements and using different paradigms and constructs to break down leadership elements, rather than seeing leadership as a general concept. Leadership can be a very vague idea, and as a result of the work encapsulated in this portfolio, I…
