Abstract

A philosophy of leadership is an action-logic that undergirds leadership actions. This action-logic includes values, beliefs, and claims. Some of these elements are uncritical and assumed and can form an embedded philosophy of leadership. Leaders will be well-served to examine and develop their own philosophy of leadership critically in order to act with consistency and to develop follower trust. In order to analyze one’s philosophy of leadership, it is helpful to ask questions of being (ontology), value (axiology), and knowledge (epistemology). Lewis’ critique of Weston’s philosophy of life through Ransom shows the value of engaging Lewis’ fiction to develop philosophy of leadership.
