What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“A believer of Paternalistic leadership”

My philosophy of leadership is as I consider myself as a facilitator for my team. I support them, groom them, and remain flexible with them. About leadership style, I would say that my leadership style is the combination of democratic, coaching, autocorrecting, and pacesetting. Though it depends upon the task and the situation but most of the time I follow the said leadership styles.
