Taking the time to self-reflect and get to know yourself better means dedicating time to learning what makes a good leader and determining the steps to work on to become a better leader. Journaling is an excellent vehicle for this reflection and growth.
In this assignment, you will appraise five elements of self-reflection and self-assess across 3 days in a reflective practice journal to enhance your leadership capacity.
Step 1
Download the Reflective Practice Self-Assessment Journal Template and preview all sections.
Step 2
Use the ACE Library
Links to an external site., course materials, and other scholarly or professional sources to review these five elements of reflective practice: mindfulness, self-awareness, creativity, being true to ourselves, and examining attitudes. Incorporate information from at least two sources into your journal.
Research best practices for self-reflection, journaling, and building leadership capacity through reflective leadership.
Step 3
Follow the instructions on the template to synthesize the information to self-assess each element across 3 days.
For each day, identify one situation in your professional practice for which a different response might have resulted in a better outcome. Describe each situation, then record short narrative responses to these questions for each of the five reflective practice categories:
- How could I have used this reflective practice to improve the outcome?
- What did I observe about myself in the situation?
As a leader, what could I do in the future to make a similar situation a more positive experience?
Include APA-formatted in-text citations and a reference page for at least two sources.
Step 4
Submit your reflective practice self-assessment journal.
