Reflection isn’t a luxury—it’s a performance multiplier

We’re all in a rush to do. Finish the work. Hit the target. Move on.

A Harvard Business School study found that employees who spent 15 minutes at the end of their day reflecting on what they learned performed 23% better than those who didn’t.

That’s not luck. That’s how learning locks in.

Reflection turns action into insight. It connects dots, reveals blind spots, and makes improvement intentional.

For teams, it’s even more powerful. A simple 10-minute debrief at the end of the week—What worked? What didn’t? What do we try next?—builds trust, sharpens thinking, and creates momentum.

It’s tempting to skip. There’s always more to do. But great teams pause.

They reflect so they can grow.

Because when you stop long enough to learn from what just happened, you make the next step smarter.

Action is good. Insightful action is better.
