1- What is your "competitive advantage" as a leader? In other words, what strength differentiates you from others and positions you to produce at a superior level in comparison to others? What three things can you do to further develop this strength?
2- Identify the one developmental area that you believe, once addressed, would help you to be even more effective in your current role (or in a role you aspire to obtain). How do you know that this is an area of development for you? What do you need to do to address this area in the short-term and long-term?
3- Identify three insights you have developed about yourself that are relevant to the way that you lead or work. How have you used these insights? What additional questions should you be asking yourself about your current leadership aptitude, awareness, and abilities?
4- Capture what you believe to be the role, responsibilities, and relationships of leaders and followers and how you personally define leadership.
5- Reflect back on your leadership intention about which you previously journaled. Consider subsequent journaling and learning as you share why you initially chose to be a leader, why you continue to choose to serve as a leader, and what you hope to accomplish as a leader.
6- Review your prior journaling and learning as you articulate the expectations you have of yourself and others based on guiding principles and non-negotiables that influence you as a leader.

8- Consider how you actively explore and learn from: historical and contemporary leaders; the successes and failure of your own team and those outside of your team, your organization, your industry, or your profession; and the opinions and logic of those who agree and those who disagree with you. What approaches best equip you with new learning in order to effectively act? (Explore)
9- Based on what you have learned about your leadership, the people you lead, and the context in which you lead, what might you do to ensure that you stay focused on those actions you need to take as a leader to enlist others. (Enlist)
