Purpose: Self-reflection competence is recognized as a key leadership skill that leads to learning from one's own experiences, drawing conclusions, and shaping one's actions in the future with a sense of job satisfaction. At the same time, research in the field of leadership is insufficient on this topic. Therefore, this article aims to determine the significance of the self¬reflection competence of a leader for organizational commitment, well-being, and organizational performance, which can be a measure of good leadership. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted among 200 managers of Polish enterprises from October 2022 to January 2023. In this study, the online questionnaire and convenience sampling were used. Findings: The analysis results indicate a positive and significant impact of self-reflection competence on well-being, commitment, and organizational results, contributing to the development of a comprehensive approach to leadership. Research limitations: Firstly, the research sample is not large. Secondly, the study used a self¬reflection competence scale that included general statements about reflection. It was not asked how often the leader practices reflection and whether it concerns positive or negative aspects. Practical implications: Leaders in organizations should remember to practice reflections, which should not be an activity only in exceptional circumstances, but rather a part of the routine of everyday professional duties. Leaders should also engage employees in reflection practices, as collective reflection brings value to the organization. Originality/value: The significance of self-reflection competency contributes to theory and practice toward a comprehensive approach to leadership.
