1. Begin at the end: Where do you want to be as a leader? (Create the picture.) 2. Talents: Identify five talents. These can be the same as the ones you identified in class or you can change these after giving them more thought. What are you willing to invest to make these strengths? 3. Areas of improvement: Identify at least three areas in which you want to improve. What do you need to do to move these from the Weakness Quadrant (CAPP) into one of the others? Discuss the timeline and the steps. 4. What do you value? List five values. How are those values important to your goal? 5. Create your map (action plan). What steps will you take over the next three years to become the kind of leader you want to be in the next three years? Keep in mind that you will do this again in three years, so don't feel like you have to figure out your life as a leader for the next decade. Consider additional leadership training, taking on new leadership roles, getting a mentor, networking, reading books, listening to speakers, making presentations, involving others, etc. 6.
