From Reflection to Action
This post is from Dr. Lindsey. . .it was originally posted on her blog. . .please read and respond accordingly. jeff
The book that you have read, Culturally Proficient Leadership, was written to provide you a self-directed experience toward cross-cultural leadership development. Self-directed leaders, as we discussed at last session, are efficacious, self-determined, self-monitoring, self-aware, self-assessing, and self-modifying learners. As you are constructing your cultural autobiography, what modifications are emerging for you about the kind of leader you are becoming? What are you learning about self as you assess who you are as a culturally proficient leader? In what ways might you use your knowledge of the 4 Tools for Cultural Proficiency to construct an action plan for culturally proficient practices in your current context? By now you should also be making connections among the work of Pink, Christensen, and Lindsey. In what ways are you connecting your personal insights to Pink's "6 senses" and Christensen's "disruptions"? So, you have much to think about and process as a leader. Use this Blog space to comment and connect to my questions comments and to the comments of your colleagues. It is through this social context/media (Karl Weick called this social construct "sensemaking") that we can make sense of our own stories and journeys.
