Have you thought about self-reflection?=;^]

The final face of the cube of development is the most powerful – self-reflection and individual initiative. Understanding why self-reflection is so powerful can help you do better at creating a learning organization.
 
Self-reflection has the following advantages:
  • The focus is on priority topics
  • The learner is highly motivated
  • It occurs at the right time
  • It is aligned to the needs of the individual
  • It requires few organizational resources

Of course, there are challenges:
  • The individual’s needs may not be aligned to the organization’s needs
  • The learner may lack their own resources, especially time
  • The learner has little support outside of their own abilities
 
This is where things get really cool! Imagine an organization in which:
  • Leaders work with individuals to help them identify development goals that are relevant to both the organization and the individual
  • All types (faces) of development include ample opportunities for self-reflection
  • Coaching, mentoring, and peer networks reinforce organizational and individual development goals
 
It isn’t that hard to build a learning organization, but it requires special things from leaders:
  • Commitment to operating in quadrant 2
  • Developing a coaching mindset and skills
  • Integrating personnel evaluation/review processes with learning and development
 
On any given day about 70 leaders from this list read this email. I know from conversations with many of you that it gets forwarded to lots of other leaders.
