Selfreflection is a key practice for authentic leaders from "summary" of True North by Bill George
Authentic leaders understand the importance of self-reflection in their leadership journey. By taking the time to introspect and evaluate their actions, thoughts, and decisions, they are able to gain valuable insights into their own strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. This process of self-reflection allows them to learn from their experiences and continually improve themselves as leaders. Self-reflection is not just about looking back on past events, but also about looking inward to understand one's values, beliefs, and motivations. Authentic leaders are able to connect with their inner selves and align their actions with their core values. This alignment between their internal values and their external actions is what makes them genuine and trustworthy leaders. Through self-reflection, authentic leaders are able to develop a deep sense of self-awareness. They are able to understand their own emotions, reactions, and behaviors, and how these impact their relationships with others. This self-awareness allows them to regulate their emotions, make better decisions, and build stronger connections with their teams. Self-reflection also helps authentic leaders to build resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks. By taking the time to reflect on their experiences, they are able to learn from failures, adapt to change, and bounce back stronger than before. This ability to learn and grow from adversity is what sets authentic leaders apart from others.- Self-reflection is a key practice for authentic leaders because it enables them to stay true to themselves, lead with integrity, and inspire others to do the same. By continuously reflecting on their thoughts, actions, and values, authentic leaders are able to evolve and become the best version of themselves, both personally and professionally.
