What is a leadership credo?

Question

I am completing an assignment for a Educational Leadership class.

Answer 1

According to dictionary.com here is what credo is:

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This

cre·do   Audio Help   /ˈkridoʊ, ˈkreɪ-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kree-doh, krey-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun, plural -dos. 1. (often initial capital letter) the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed.  

2. (often initial capital letter) a musical setting of the creed, usually of the Nicene Creed.  

3. any creed or formula of belief.  

--------------------------------------...

[Origin: 1150–1200; ME < L: lit., I believe; first word of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds in Latin]

—Synonyms 3. doctrine, tenet, philosophy.

I would then conclude

Leadership Credo- A formula or system of leading.  As an example a wise leader may make it there credo to spend less time talking then they do listening.  

Or that is what I would take it to mean.
