Leadership Value of the Day: Reflection
Who in our society has the time to reflect? We are often
times consumed with work, children, bills, and just the day-to-day activities
that keep us up late at night, and have us rising early in the morning. There
just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day. So it's no wonder we often find
it hard to sit and reflect on decisions we have made and experiences we have
had. Reflecting, however is a crucial step on the path to becoming great at
what ever your craft maybe, as well as becoming a successful leader. Reflections
allow us to gain value from our past choices. It does not matter if the choices
were successful or if they were mistakes, we can learn to repeat or how to
improve from those choices. This is the catalyst for proper perspective. Often
times we are defeated by a situation because we are looking at it from the
wrong perspective. The proper perspective can only be achieved by reflecting
back on the choices we have made, because we often time in the moment do not
have the time nor the clarity of mind to reflect within the experience itself.
If you want to rise to a level of greatness in any craft you must utilize
reflection. It is an imperative tool in the continued success, and
development of leadership skills, and the growth of an individual on the journey
to fulfill goals and dreams.
