Analyze Your Feedback. You should have feedback from the participants you emailed in Week 2 for the Reflected Best Self Exercise—Part 1 assignment. Read through all responses carefully. Analyze each one . Take notes on the key insights and record themes from the feedback. What do these stories say about what you do that adds value? What can you do to improve as an aspiring leader based on this feedback? You will incorporate key themes from the feedback into your Leadership Philosophy final paper.
In a list or table like the one below, note key insights into who you are and what you do when you are at your best. Analyze the context of the story. Focus on your actions, contributions, and attitudes.

For this week’s assignment write a one-to-two-page, single spaced (no title page) assignment not including the table analyzing your stories. Include a completed list or table with your results and share your key takeaways from your stories. What did you learn about your strengths that were identified by your friends, family, or colleagues?
