Reflection Creates Leadership

Leadership is also about making a constructive impact on your team and overall organization, as well as being a positive influence on others. Effective leadership requires self-awareness, which in turn can be developed through constant self-reflection. Take some time to regularly examine yourself, your habits, and your actions. Look for behavioral patterns in response to external events or triggers, and in particular, examine root causes for negative or harmful behaviors. Seek honest feedback from peers you trust. Authentic reflection can identify areas of growth and in turn help you become a better leader.
