According to my Leadership Practices Inventory (LPO)/360 feedback, I need to more actively seek out challenging opportunities that test my skills and abilities.

Albert, Ph.D, stated, “Organizations today must be continually learning about the world they operate in and somewhat prophetic about the world they are entering.” This evaluation echoes Vaill’s description of the need for self-directed Leaderly learning, as the managerial leader is modeling the learning process for others in the organization. I had the pleasure of attending a leadership symposium given by naval officers CAPT R. V. Gusentine and LT Clint Bruce, Naval Special Warfare Community; who instilled in me to be audacious and creative in planning, make smart and timely decisions and solve the problem as soon and from as far away as possible.

I can also say that I have seen growth in my journals over the past few weeks, as they have started to grasp a better understanding of adaptive leadership.

During the first meeting in a Strength Based Leadership class, we were asked to write our leadership history. The class then began an ongoing exploration of various leadership theories.
