On the Importance of Reflection

Reflection is important, because without it, there is no change. A leader needs to think about the reasons, implications, and perspectives involved in order to make necessary change. Otherwise things become routine. I really liked how the author(s) discussed the need for both reflection ON action as well as reflection IN action. I also agree with the need to verbalize and “process” with others when in reflection. I think that is the power of administrative teams that function well together. Talking through ideas and directions is a powerful reflective process that causes the team to consider aspects they may not have considered if working in isolation on paper.
