SLP Self-Assessment

Collaborative working
Collaborative
During the MAC task, I was very reflective and decided to take more of a back seat role and listened rather than spoke. It was really interesting to observe the approach and to see the impact my previous leadership styles had on the dynamics of the group. It was the right thing to be silent - but also made me reflect that I should have done it sooner in the residential.
Enabling
During the finance task I feel I enabled Kristen and Stacey really well, I reflected on the feedback I had been given and took a completely different approach. This was very successful and well received
Agile
During the motivation discussion I challenged Inderjit on the concept of motivation and highlightedJim Collins' work on Good to Great - the right people don't need motivating, and the work of Daniel Pink in Drive about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I was also very comfortable this time with the ambiguity of the group task and encouraged the team to get going , have a try and pivot as necessary should we be deemed to 'fail'
Leadership Strategies
collaborative
During the role-play activity I think I was too keen to assert my 'authority' and was focused on adhering to the rules too much. I reflected that it was only me I should try to influence and that if I wanted to stand to present then that was my choice, but others should be able to rule b real if they so chose.
Strategic
My greatest reflection was the mirror and window analogy from Good to Great - what is it in myself that I need to change in order to influence the leadership behaviors of others, I have only got control of myself, not of others.
Goals and Role
Entrepreneurial
This residential I feel I was far less 'competitive' and was in more of a learning style for the majority of the time. I reflected that last year, I felt as though I had much to prove as anew member of NAE and as a Head, that I somehow had something to prove.This time round I felt able to be more vulnerable and open to learning.
Accountable
This time around I felt that I owned my behaviors more and was open to reflection and criticism without being defensive. I was happy to hold myself accountable for my actions.
Moving forward, I feel that although I prepared for the academic aspects of the program I had not prepared for the emotional aspects of the residential. This is something I will be mindful of for the second residential.
Group norms / climate
Resilient
During the sessions I was more open to criticism and responded well to feedback. Throughout I was in a learning state and was focused on developing self awareness and reflection strategies. When I did receive feedback I was not defensive and changed my leadership behaviors accordingly, trying new styles and experimenting with conscious practice.
Agile
The group task demonstrated how much more comfortable I am with dealing with ambiguity. I was comfortable relinquishing 'control and power' later in the residential .
I am still very aware of my 'people pleasing' driver and my attempts to be liked and respected. Over the course of the residential I reflected that by trying less hard, listening more and being the best team player I can these things come on their own.
