You might consider what role you took in the team, and how/whether this led to good outcomes for the team. You could consider the issues that the team encountered while preparing the presentation, and think about your role in causing or mitigating these problems, using a recognised reflective model such as Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle.Above all, consider what you could do better, or differently, next time to improve your team's performance and why you think this will make a difference – what evidence can you provide that suggests your plans for improvement will work? Present this part as a table at the end of your report.

Now that you are in  the final week of this course, reflect upon our journey: the approaches  toward leadership and change, the turbulent landscape generated by VUCA,  leadership calm within this chaos, the interior conditions of  leadership, Bell Jars and Blind Spots, conscious movement toward the  future, sensing, being, and doing. Our authors note that many  individuals may seek one of two paths, one of violence or of isolation.  What about you? Considering our journey and the voices and prompts  encountered along the way, respond to the following questions:     How will you choose to spend your precious life energy? How will you choose to lead?    What “divides” will draw your attention? How will you attempt sustaining change within a VUCA context? How has your thinking shifted from Week 1’s assignment prompt and what if you could address that challenge now? How would you address this challenge and “lead from the emerging  future"? Provide specific examples of new mental models, behaviors, and  actions you would use as a result of your learning from our course.  In what ways has your learning over the past 8 weeks been  surprising?  How do you see it being useful in your future work as a  leader?
