One of the common features I include in all of my leadership workshops is creating space for leaders to reflect and assess not just what they’ve done in the past, but how they can improve on it.
The reason for this is that many times leaders have told me that the growing demands they face not only limit their time, but it also limits what energy they have left to be introspective about their leadership and what their employees need from them.
In fact, I’ve been told far too many times by leaders that as much as they’d like to reflect and review on their team’s efforts and what needs to be done next, after spending most of their day attending meetings and then putting out fires, they just don’t have the bandwidth left to dedicate to this kind of effort.
That’s why in this latest episode of my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I want to share a simple process that even the busiest leader can apply to tap into the power of reflection to gain a better sense of context and awareness for what needs to be done to drive organizational growth and success.
