Purpose: This assignment provides the student with the opportunity to engage in reflective practice. Reflective practice requires that practitioners examine tacit knowledge and questions that arise within the practitioner during practice. Practitioners who engage in disciplined reflection develop critical thinking skill and refine tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. Development of leadership behaviors is a process that occurs over time through the use of observation, trial and error, experience and the application of leadership theory to circumstances requiring leadership.

Procedure:

1. Students are required to keep a Journal that reflects your thoughts and observations about

the leadership, management and followership that you observe in your clinical rotations,

read about in your weekly readings or reflect upon in the observations that you make about

leaders in the public eye. All students are required to make a minimum of 4 journal entries
