We were asked to complete 'The Kolb Learning Style Inventory' today to gauge our leadership learning styles.
The results of the inventory were that I learn mostly through what Kolb calls 'Active Experimentation' (doing) and 'Abstract Conceptualization' (thinking).
According to his theory, I learn in what is called a 'Converging Style'.
Reflection on Results and What This Means for Me as a Developing Leader:
Whilst I'd certainly agree that finding practical uses for ideas and theories and solving problems is something I prioritise, I disagree that I would rather deal with technical issues than social and interpersonal ones. Collaborating with students and colleagues in a socially and emotionally intelligent way is something I feel is a strength. Perhaps what the high test scores in these areas indicates is that I often work on projects independently, and that in order to grow as a developing leader I need to collaborate to a greater degree.
