What is a Personal Leadership Credo?

Trust-building is the first stake you should have in the ground for your Leadership T.E.N.T. if you want to be a leader who drives employee engagement and has high levels of performance and retention.

One of those elements is establishing expectations with a personal leadership credo. The word credo means “I believe” in Latin. You’re simply stating what you believe, how you lead, and what people can expect from your leadership style.

Essential Components for a Personal Leadership Credo?

The components of a personal leadership credo are not complex. We’re talking about three simple sentences that are based on your values and vision for a better future from your contributions.

First, take some time to think about your core values. What matters most to you and why does that matter to you as a leader of people? Consider how you’d like to be remembered as a leader after you’re gone or your team members have moved on in their careers.

Second, you’re ready to build out your leadership credo the moment you have collected a sense of your values, and what you want to be remembered for in your leadership style.
