Reflection
Introduction
This reflective journal is based on my experiences during the workshop ‘People, Culture and
Contemporary leadership’. I have been exposed to various aspects of people, culture and
contemporary leadership hence I am reflecting upon those to extract the real learning from
them. My tutor told me that reflecting upon whatever I have studied, is the important part of
undertaking postgraduate study to reflect learning for future development. This reflective
practice is an attempt to identify how the acquired learning can be applied in my future
professional and personal life (Goetsch & Davis, 2014). Besides, I will reflect on the theories
I learnt during the workshop, specifically for recruitment and talent management. I will also
analyse the importance of online resources accessed by me. I will narrate my experience with
the industry guest during Week-6 who has demonstrated the application of theory in the real
world. Moreover, many in-class activities in which I participated like discussions and
cognitive exercises provided a life-long learning along with the assessment feedback which I
have received following my performance during the assignment-I. Subsequently, I will also
reflect upon psychometric tests those I have completed, especially for leadership and
interpersonal traits.
Reflection
In this way, on the basis of (Bolman & Deal, 2017), I will utilise my weekly diary that I have
used for chronicling my experiences either positive or negative while attending the entire
workshop. Thus, based on (Greenberg & Baron, 2008), I will convert those diary entries into
a reflective journal which will assist me to answer many questions related to my future
leadership style.
Theories learnt for Recruitment and Talent management
In this paragraph, based on my knowledge (Huczynski et al., 2013), I will describe about the
theories I have learnt during this workshop, especially those for recruitment and talent
management. With the help of some case studies about Apple, Westconnex and Telestra, I
have learnt recruitment as well as recruitment management theories likes HRM planning,
succession planning, creating jobs, employment branding, external talent attraction and many
