Learning and Reflection Journal
Name:
Week:3 Date:
The major concepts and points covered in this week were:
i) Self awareness in relation to developing leadership trait
ii) Value recognition so as to provide basic guidelines in an organization
iii) Definition of attitudes and explanation of leadership qualities in relation
to behavior
iv) Recognition of individual clarities in cognitive style
The key areas of learning for me are:
i) Dimensions of personality
ii) Locus of Control
iii) Differences in behavior between external and internal cognitive
approach
iv) Values, attitudes, perception, distortion, attribution
My thoughts on how these concepts and learning points can improve a
leader’s performance are:
I would prefer to discuss on cognitive differences. This would focus on the basic
understanding of the entire case pertaining to the effective changes in terms of
creating value for the entire case so as to find out how the major understanding
would be taken into consideration. Hermann’s whole brain model can be taken
into consideration to improve logical, organized and interpersonal thought process.
My thoughts and feelings on the leadership self insight questions and my
‘score’ this week are:

i) Whether I am extrovert or introvert
ii) Whether I proceed with thinking or feeling

From this week’s study I need to follow up on these leadership concepts and
areas to improve gasp of the subject:
i) Attitudes of leadership that would procure effective concern pertaining
to self awareness and decision making
ii) I need to work on different personality trait so that it can be taken into
certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the
issues
iii) Comprehending the components of MBTI
My other thoughts feelings and comments are:
I would like to incorporate different awareness elements within me so that I can
improve my leadership style. Since I have my own thought process and philosophy
of leadership, I personally believe that this would amalgamate the learning and
prove it to be better in quality.
I can apply this learning to my development and practice to be a leader by:
i) Incorporating major personality dimensions
ii) Recognizing values and guiding them to the thoughts and behaviors of my work
process
