TEL #006: Reflective Leadership Guide

This week is a little bit different of a newsletter

I wanted to create a list of reflective questions for you as a leader to take stock of where we are at this week as we step into next week

I hope this can create a rhythm of weekly asking yourself a set of reflective questions, and this can give you a template of how to do it:

Physical:

(Rate yourself from 1 to 10 on where you feel from this past week)

1. What has been life-giving to me this week?
2. What has been life-draining this week for me?

Intellectual:

(Rate yourself from 1 to 10 on where you feel from this past week)

1. What topic would I want to dive into deeper this week and study?
2. Who is someone I want to learn from this week?

Relational:

(Rate yourself from 1 to 10 on where you feel from this past week)

1. Who is one life-giving friend I can schedule time with this week?
2. Who is someone I can invest intentionally into this week?

Spiritual:?

(Rate yourself from 1 to 10 on where you feel from this past week)

1. (Faith background): How have I spent time with God this week??
2. (for non-faith background): What can I do to center on my purpose this week?

Emotional?

(Rate yourself from 1 to 10 on where you feel from this past week)

1. What emotion has been most prevalent this week?
2. What emotion have I been noticing but trying to avoid?

This content is just a short list to hopefully spark some reflection and cultivate the discipline of reflection in your life as an everyday leader.

Feel free to create your own questions/system for reflection and share them in the comments below.
