Individual Leadership Development Plan
Assignment Introduction
Preparation
Reflect on your LPI (and/or other leadership assessment) results and your personal career goals. In this paper, which is intended to help you start to build a personal leadership development plan, you should report on the results of your Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) (and, if desired, other leadership assessment(s) you have done) in light of the course concepts from readings and discussions, and your own background and experience. Consider the behavioral statements (numbered 1-30 in the LPI) on which you rated yourself very high or very low.
Paper Instructions
Your paper should address the following components:
Identify areas of strength and areas for development:
· Describe in what areas you have strengths and why and how you believe you came to develop those strengths.
· Describe why you think you engage so seldom in areas where you rated lower in leadership practices (patterns of action)?
Establish goals for development:
· Identify the specific leadership practices in which you would like to improve. You should describe these practices in terms of your career goals and the leadership competencies you believe will be needed for exemplary leadership in your chosen career. Describe why have you chosen to focus on these practices.
Develop a plan for your development
Describe specifically what you plan to do to improve in these practices (specific action steps). Develop a detailed plan for improvement, including specific actions, resources you plan to use (or find), a timeline, and how you will measure your progress. You may wish to do this in a table format.
5. Describe an ideal mentor to assist you in achieving your leadership development plan (you may already have a person in mind for such a role. If so, describe that person. If not, what would that person be like? e.g., what strengths would they have? What would their personal style be?) Describe how you would like to be mentored. If you don’t have one already, how will you go about finding a mentor?
