Episode Synopsis

I explain how reflecting helps us learn and make better decisions. We need to look at why we avoid it and the roadblocks to making it a habit. Reflecting doesn’t need to slow us down--it actually helps us get where we want faster. I offer ways to make reflection a habit and key questions to give yourself a structure for reflection. I explain how organizations can make reflection a habit:  • Decide what to stop doing • Clarify decision making processes • Ensure sufficient resources  • Take time outs from continual change  • Ask about the sources of failure  • Insist on learning from experiments  • Institute “after action reviews” Experiment: Career Reflection using focused questions:  • What made you take each job? • How did it fit your skills, interests, and motivators? • What values did it allow you to express? • What did you learn from each job? • What career goal were you pursuing at that time?  • What overall themes emerge?
