reflection

[Document title]

The purpose of this final reflective paper is to look back at what each student has learned during the past 12 weeks and to reflect on it while applying it to their current and future leadership. This is not a book review nor is it a regurgitation of all the material we studied thrown back on the page! It is your analysis, synthesis and reflection of WHAT you have learned in this course and HOW you will use the knowledge in practicing leadership from a servant-oriented lens. It is holding up the ideas, concepts and practices we studied and adding your thoughts and critical analysis to it.
