Becoming the Leader You Want to Be: Using Reflective Practice for Root Cause Analysis in the Craft of Leadership

By Steven S. Taylor

We're all good at seeing how other people's action cause problems. But it is much harder to see how our own actions also caused the problem. It is difficult to understand your own role in the system of interpersonal actions and reactions that are at the heart of leadership. If we only look at other people and parts of the system that are external to ourselves we are not just blind to an important part of the system, but we are missing the part that we have the most control over - our own behavior. This is a "how-to" book for learning the techniques of reflective practice in the action science / action inquiry tradition in order to do root cause analysis of your own leadership. The book describes how to use various tools, such as the ladder of inference, the learning pathways grid, and the change immunity map, for analysis and active experimentation. It offers a path to actively working on your leadership and becoming the leader you want to be in those situations where it is most difficult to be that leader.
