I have never been concerned with others knowing my political compass; since, I believe the most effective leaders to be libertarian - sincerely, others could do no better than a libertarian in a position of authority.
I believe that my Leadership Style and Values must be common among libertarians:
> Leads by example; not claims or assertions ('trust me')
> Neither authoritarian nor manipulative
> Concerned with solutions; not blame
> Leads others; no interest in controling others
> Will NOT micro-manage or surveille - the team must be trusted
> No hesitation to speak opinion with complete sincerity
> Judges personal success by success of employees and team members
> Egalitarian work environment
> Very accepting of others notwithstanding appearance, culture, or social class
> Places importance on balance between work and home
> Promotes close work relationships based on trust and openness
> Professional pride based on inner success, not titles or authority
> Hires based on self-motivation and future potential
> Leads by compassionate integrity; never by fear
> Promotes innovation, originality; not processes and procedures
> Values individuality
> Will not promote office politics
> Will FALL ON OWN SWORD to protect employees and team (I have)
There are trade-offs with my Leadership style:
> Will not 'manage upwards'
> Will not hesitate to remove a duplicituous associate
> Will always do what is right; not what is told
> Can be very protective of employees and team members
> Rules are for guidance; not constraint
> Will not participate in 'covering up' failures
> Will challenge STATUS QUO when necessary
> Values principles; not political correctness
> Leadership style conflits with traditional middle managers
> Will not abandon ethics or convictions for others, to fit in
> Not intimidated by executive titles or manipulative associates
> Can often seem too calm during a crisis
