Personal Management Philosophy Institutional Affiliation Student’s name Course Name /Section Professor’s name Submission Date   Abstract Entailed in this paper are my management philosophies and the beliefs, experiences, values, priorities, training, education, and expectations of myself and everyone working for and with me.

Discussed are the core philosophies that shape my approach to the daily business challenge.   I. Introduction A management philosophy is a set of beliefs that an individual in a management position utilizes to guide the decision-making process (Olsen, 2005).
