Write a 4-6 page plan to deliver to your leader in which you outline future actions for your leadership development. Your Development Plan needs to be specific with attainable, relevant, time-bound actions that are clearly measurable in their outcomes. Your paper should be well organized and cover the following elements. Because it is your plan, identifying yourself in the first person would be appropriate. You may also choose to use tables, charts, or other strategies to more effectively communicate your plan.

• Analyze your strengths, leadership philosophy, and role as a human resource leader to define clear goals you need or desire for your own human resource leadership development. Address the following.
  • Each goal addresses all elements of SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. For example, define specific outcomes you wish to happen by achieving a goal:
    • "Being a better leader" is not specific.
    • "Improving my communication, trust, and influence with my two team members" is more specific.
    • The Development Goals activity gives you clear steps and ideas in the goal setting process.
  • One of the goals supports your ability to influence stakeholders as a human resource leader.
