2REFLECTION ON LEADERSHIP
Introduction
Leadership refers to the ability of a person to lead and influence other by guiding and
supervising them properly and sharing the vision with them. Leadership however does not
include any forceful act carried out by a person in order to influence others (Priest & Gass,
2017). Reflection refers to process of understanding and interpreting the experiences, it helps to
convert the experience into learning such that it can be applied practically. By carrying out
reflection, the problem solving capability is improved and it enables people to think in a better
way. Reflection helps in self-development by understanding the strengths and weaknesses and
helps in connecting the practical concepts with the reality (Johnston, 2017). The main aim of the
paper is to reflect on my experience and learning from the various weekly studies and show how
well I have understood the concept of leadership and application if the same into real life
situations.
Importance of leadership
Leadership refers to the ability of the individual to influence others and help an
organization or others in achieving the goals together by avoiding any form of conflicts
(Antonakis & Day, 2017). In simple words it also means the ability to influence others and
supporting others in order to help them accomplish a task. The weekly studies were carried out in
order to improve our understanding about the concept of leadership. For instance: we learned
about the concept of leadership in the first session, the various models of leadership in the
second session, we learnt about the concept of leadership nature and nurture in the third session
and similar many other concepts related to leadership in other sessions.
