Write Your Own Development Plan

Want to get serious about adding new leadership skills?  Document your development goals in a Leadership Development Plan (LDP).  The LDP is a formal, written plan of the steps you’re taking to develop yourself as a leader.  Typically, this one page document lists your specific development objectives as well as the behaviors you’re committed to adding, enhancing, or stopping.  If you want to hold yourself accountable for development, put your learning objectives in writing and share the LDP with your boss, your peers, and your team.  Tell them what you’re working on and ask them to hold you accountable for the behavior change.  Once you put yourself “out there” you’re committed – and when you’re developing yourself, that’s a good thing.
