Reflective Leadership - Part 2 of 2

Yesterday, I posed the question: How reflective are you as a leader?  

Today, we'll look at how reflective leaders think.  Here are some of the questions reflective leaders as of themselves:

• What did I learn today?
• Whom did I nurture today?
• What difficult issue did I confront today?
• What is my most important challenge right now?
• What did I do today to make progress on my most important challenge?
• ......and......If I were to do it again, how would I do it differently?

Reflective Leadership - Part 1 of 2

How reflective are you as a leader?

Reflective leaders take time to think about the lessons learned, record their small wins and setbacks, document conflicts between values and practice, identify the difference between idiosyncratic behaviour and long-term pathologies, and notice trends that emerge over time.
