Leadership Digest: Edition 43

Leadership Digest: Edition 43

If you haven’t scheduled (or started) reflecting on the year…you’re missing a crucial tool for leadership development.

Famed leadership guru, Warren Bennis, shared that the most successful leaders build “reflective structures” into their lives, dedicating time for self-examination to foster growth and strategic thinking. We have also found this to be true.

We encourage all our clients to build reflection into their calendars–end of the day, week, month, quarter, and year. We also advocate for embedding "reflection as learning" within organizational culture to enhance continuous improvement.


Article of the Week:

Mirror, Mirror is an article I wrote on reflection a few years back. It is a guide to help you reflect, complete with insightful reflection questions from some of our favorite leaders.

Ready to dive even deeper into reflection before you begin New Year planning?
