There's a lot to it, you can't really sum it up as a brief philosophy. It's like asking people "what's your philosophy for programming". That said, here's some philosophy. As a manager you are responsible for two things - you are responsible for making sure your team gets things done, and you are responsible for making sure each of your team members is happy in their job. The precise ways of making sure your team gets things done, well that depends on what you're getting done. And the precise ways of making sure each of your team members is happy, well that depends on why they are or are not happy. From there it gets less "philosophical" and more "practical".
