1. Provide a brief description of your organization. Include information on any critical departmental goals or challenges.
2. Identify three qualities, skills, or behaviors that you are developing and why they are important to develop to be successful as a facilities leader or other similar leadership position.
3. Provide somerationale for why you think each quality is critical to successful leadership and describe the key factors that are helping you develop these skills (e.g., training, on-the-job experience, mentoring).
4. Identify one action you can take in the next six months to further develop one of these skills.
