Reflection is a deliberate pause to examine managerial experiences, decisions, strengths, weaknesses, and outcomes, then use that insight to improve future action. section 2.5.10 section 14.1.4
Use reflection to:
- Assess which managerial strengths to develop and which weaknesses require attention. section 2.5.10
- Examine difficult outcomes, such as an employee resignation, and separate controllable causes from circumstances that require acceptance. section 8.4.2
- Review decisions and adapt team strategies through scheduled monthly assessments and quarterly reflections. section 14.1.4
- Learn from experience so similar problems are less likely to recur. section 8.4.2
