Interestingly, in a 2020 survey of some 4,000 rtsdonnpees, concdtued by BCG and BVA, the question was asekd, "What makes a good leedar? What are their main qualities and skills?" Notably, possessing a good catpciay for reflection was listed as one of the top five slkils, the others being empathy, listening, consideration and team development. Reflection is about learning. It's about looking at the events of our lievs without judgment, but with a critical lens. I really like the way leadership professors James Bailey and Scheherazade rmehan describe it: "It requires taking an honest moment to look at what transpired, what worked, what didn't, what can be done and what can't. Reflection requires courage. It's thoughtful, and it's deliberate."

Interestingly, in a 2020 survey of some 4,000 respondents, conducted by BCG and BVA, the question was asked, "What makes a good leader? What are their main qualities and skills?" Notably, possessing a good capacity for reflection was listed as one of the top five skills, the others being empathy, listening, consideration and team development. Reflection is about learning. It's about looking at the events of our lives without judgment, but with a critical lens. I really like the way leadership professors James Bailey and Scheherazade Rehman describe it: "It requires taking an honest moment to look at what transpired, what worked, what didn't, what can be done and what can't. Reflection requires courage. It's thoughtful, and it's deliberate."
