BUS552: LEADERSHIP – M4.5 Reflection: Personal Leadership Philosophy
Reflection: Personal Leadership Philosophy
Purpose
Reflections provide you the opportunity to consider what you have learned throughout this week as well as what you might learn moving forward; this is called metacognition. Metacognition is an important skill to help you develop your professional practice.
The key to metacognition is completing the following self-reflection exercise: think about what you already know (from previous education and your career);, how you learn and whether it serves you best; and where you want new knowledge to lead you. You may ask yourself why it is important to self-reflect on what you already know. Your assessment of your knowledge may reveal gradations between surface learning (memorization, facts) and deep learning (analysis, finding meaning).
In your career, you may use surface learning in many circumstances, but you also need to employ deep learning, so you can make connections, find patterns, and apply logic to situations. This is a crucial step in your professional development journey.
Your Task
Consider the following prompt and then respond to the prompts below by creating a 1–3-minute video. Utilize the resources available to you and feel free to use screen sharing to create an engaging video reflection.
In Module 2, you developed a personal leadership philosophy. As you’ve learned in this module, emotional intelligence should be considered when developing your philosophy. Re-evaluate the philosophy you created and share with the class your philosophy and how it has changed based on what you’ve learned in the last couple of weeks. Include in your discussion how diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility considerations are included in your leadership philosophy. Does your leadership philosophy embrace DEI and respect? How does your philosophy impact your team and guide success?
You will need to include a transcript or closed captions with your video in order to make it accessible for people with hearing disabilities. The easiest way to do this is to write a script in advance and attach this to your post as a transcript.
