Reflection is a vital tool in understanding challenges in thorough detail to properly formulate change. According to Gibbs Reflective cycle (1998 version), people are encouraged to reflect in a certain effective manner. Firstly, they are encouraged to objectively describe and note the series of events. In my case, the engineering class was given an aeronautical assignment on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner which required collaboration and trust. Thus, teamwork itself and communication was the main…
Having personally never formally reflected on my personal attributes as a leader, I was very curious to where this self-assessment would lead. When choosing my two candidates for feedback, it was pretty evident who I would choose. John George, Parker Cahn and I have worked on a multitude of case competitions together, as well as collaborating on executive boards for both the Nittany Consulting Group (NCG) and the Sapphire Leadership Academic Program. It was interesting hearing feedback from…
INTRODUCTION When I make up my mind to progress my life into management, I need necessary tools such as courses, discussions and overall self-reflection namely the Life Style Inventory (LSI). The LSI is an assessment exercise for self-evaluation surveys that procedures thinking and behavioral criterions within the bounds of an individual as the test taker (http://frameset.next.ecollege.com). Consequently, the LSI has three quintessence cores styles, the Constructive, the Passive/Defensive and…

There are several different types of leadership styles and how to perform as a manager is reflective to the staff in regards to the type of leader that is managing staff.

1) Mr. K what do you mean by you do not know how much longer you can go on? My rational for asking him what does he mean that he cannot go on, is because he sounds like he is talking about suicide. As a social worker this is something that I want to be clear about. I think that he might respond to this question by answering it in a very specific way. Mr. K is very emotional right now therefore he need help, by me asking him about himself I think that he would be open to answering me with any…
1. Business perception This paper attempts to give a critical reflection on my learning experience within GB500 subject Business Perspectives and also shows the interdependence of the business theories with the studying towards a future status of effective professional manager in successful entrepreneurship. It is based on multidimensional concept (Bula, 2012a). Before undertaking the subject I had an experience with business environment through my previous studies and work experience but as my…
As the world fades around me into a gray mist, I struggle to catch one more breath. I gasp from the muscle cramps and unintentionally breathe in water. In a last feeble attempt, my arms twitch and fail to bring me to the surface. Instead, I drift within the current and my eyes dim while glazing upward towards the water’s surface. My body surrenders to the mercy of death with the expelling of tiny air bubbles. They caress my face in a playful motion. Then as my body begins to sink, the remaining…
It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…
The next tag for the reflection here is “Equality”. The article “Conversation With Whale” was one of my next article in which I had tried to mention the life of animals. I find myself being much more natural and animal lover when I go through the reflections. I had mentioned in the same article that people kill animals, particularly whales, for their artificial beauty and decoration; and…
The first therapist reflected on Robin’s statement and the resulting issue that landed them in family counseling. He said, “You want to prepare her … she got sick…” (Laureate Education, Inc., 2011). There are two great examples of reflection presented by the second therapist. The first was when she reflected on the couple’s relationship as a whole. She stated, “Your history has been a growth fostering relationship … disconnects are causing isolation …” This helped the couple to see…
