Reflect to Create

This text examines the habits of leaders and how they use the process of reflection to create conditions that foster growth in people and the collective well-being of the organization.

1. The bigger picture

1.4. Framing the research question

My research study therefore sought to explore with a small sample of leaders their real‐life experience of reflection in the workplace.

The research question was:

"What are leaders' experiences of reflection?"

I wanted to explore how they defined reflection and reflective practices, what their processes for reflection were, what helped or hindered their reflection, what benefits their experiences had generated for them as well as what this might mean for the development of future leaders.
