How does reflective practices before/during/after an event improve future leadership decisions in each situation.

LEAD6011- MODULE 1 Reflective Practice

Complete your Module 1 Assignment by the end of Week 1.

Reflection-in-action brings a leader’s remembered skills, experience, and knowledge into play at the right time. Reflection-on-action occurs after the event. Reflective practices before, during, and after an event improve future leadership decisions in each situation.

Step 1
Review the models of reflective leadership practice: Bolton and Delderfield’s six honest serving men model, Kolb and Fry’s learning experience model, Gibb’s reflective cycle model, and Rolfe’s reflective three simple questions model.

Step 2
Analyze the similarities and differences between each reflective leadership practice model to determine how each answers the why, what, and how questions. Compile your analysis into a table. 

Step 3
Prepare a 4 to 5-page paper (not including the title or reference pages) with an in-depth analysis of each reflective leadership model. Use APA-formatted in-text citations. You may embed your comparison/contrast table within your paper or you may attach it at the end of your paper as you see in this.  Within your table, you are to single-space and utilize complete sentences. 

Step 4
Adhere to proper APA formatting of your document headings and subheadings:

Throughout our lifetimes, we experience events affecting our professional goals and aspirations. To become more effective leaders, we must learn from those events and take time to reflect and improve ourselves.

A self-analysis informs our professional journey. Part of the journey is applying educational theory in our professional practice.

While reviewing the module readings and presentations, consider two salient events impacting your leadership journey. Assess how each of these events changed the leader you are becoming. Develop an original response to the following question: 

Think about these two milestones you experienced or overcame using reflective practice. How did you use educational theory or think about theory in relation to practice to improve your leadership potential?
