Podcast ReflectionLeadership Podcast Reflection Paper
Instructions:
Identify some of the core leadership concepts that you identified with the most while listening to the
leadership podcasts and answer each of the following questions:
1. Which speaker did you identify with the most and why? Was there a speaker that you did not
agree with? What specifically did you not agree with? If you had an opportunity to shadow one of
the speakers for a day, which one would it be and why?
2. Did you identify any traits that were common among all or most of the speakers? Did you note
that any of the speakers followed a particular leadership style that we covered in class? If so,
which styles did you pick up on?
3. What idea, story, example, or philosophy stood out the most? Was there something that you
continued to think about, even after you had completed a podcast? If so, why do you think that is?
4. “Nanos gigantum humeris insidentes” is a Latin phrase/metaphor which expresses the meaning
of “discovering truth by building on previous discoveries”. How do you think learning about the
career paths and experiences can be of value to students learning about healthcare management
concepts?
5. What other thoughts do you have on your experience of listening to the leadership podcasts?
Each student will submit a paper of at least 2 pages excluding cover, attachments, and bibliography in
APA format. If used, in-text citations should also be in APA format.
Submit the paper by clicking the link “Leadership Podcast Reflection Paper,” above, scrolling down,
clicking on “Browse Local Files” under “Attach Files,” clicking “Open,” and clicking “Submit.”
