Reflecting on Your Leadership
This reflection tool helps you pause and look at how you lead yourself. The idea is simple: how you lead yourself shapes how you lead others.
Helpful Tips as You Reflect:
- Focus on one meaningful insight in each column.
- Turn your reflections into clear and observable actions.
- Think about how your choices influence the people you lead.
Final thought to consider
"If you consistently practiced your 'Start' action over the next 90 days, what might change in how others experience your leadership?"
Stop
Start by identifying something that no longer serves your leadership. Be honest with yourself. Sometimes the biggest growth comes from recognizing habits that once helped you but are now holding you back.
Examples might include:
- Trying to solve everything yourself
- Avoiding difficult conversations
- Overcommitting your time and energy
Start
Next, think about one intentional action you can begin that strengthens how you lead yourself. Choose something small but meaningful. Consistent actions often create the biggest shifts.
Examples might include:
- Scheduling regular reflection time
- Asking more questions before offering solutions
- Being clearer about priorities and expectations
Continue
Finally, recognize what is already working well in your leadership. This step is important. Leadership growth is not only about change. It is also about strengthening the practices that already create positive impact.
Examples might include:
- Supporting and recognizing your team
- Preparing thoughtfully for important conversations
- Following through on commitments
Make it a Habit
Set a recurring calendar reminder to revisit this tool every 3 weeks.
Small tip for impact 🌱
Schedule it at a time when you are unlikely to be rushed, such as Friday afternoon or Monday morning, so you can reflect intentionally rather than quickly checking it off.
