Student Leadership Practices
Student Leadership Practices Inventory 360° Reflection
Francisco A. Martínez
San Diego State University What I have gathered from the description posted online about the “Model the Way” category, is that an exemplary leader sets the example of the behavior that the leader wishes to see in the world. Based on the self-assessment, the report says I scored an 18 out of 30. The average score of the observers gave me for this category was a 25.7. The lowest score being a 23 and the highest being a 27.The first thing I noticed from the report was that I for the majority of the questions, the average for Observers was always higher than the score for the self-assessment.

There were two questions in which I received a 2 from an observer, both questions revolved around communicating a clear vision of the future. To address this, I will be more vocal about what I envision for myself and for the organizations I belong to. As a leader, it must be evident that there is a plan, but that alone will not inspire a movement. I must connect with individuals to then connect them to a cause. For innovation, there were also two questions in which an observer rated me a 2; the two questions were about creativity and flexibility when faced with a difficult situation. Conflict and difficult situations are bound to happen in any setting, but as a leader one must learn to prevent and mitigate conflict. Flexibility plays a role in compromise when there is a disagreement and creativity provides a solution. To improve on the two things, I will practice compassion and foresight from Servant Leadership, a leadership model coined by Robert K. Greenleaf. The last skill or area I would like to work on, is connected to two questions in which I actually received a 3 as a score. Both questions mentioned the word principles but in different contexts: one was about values and principles when applied to the self, the other when applied onto a group. Whatever the case may be, I wish for people whom I work with to have a clear understanding of what I value in life and I also wish to have a clear understanding of the values that other people hold. To improve in this area, I will meet with co-workers, students, and peer to learn more about them and what they value in
