Personal development covers activities

This assignment is for you to create a developmental action plan for yourself.

Personal development covers activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance the quality of life and contribute to the realization of your dreams and aspirations. Personal development usually takes place over the course of a person’s entire life.

For this assignment you are to select one leader trait or competency you think is a positive area but could still use improvement. Use this trait or competency as the focal point of your personal developmental action plan. Be specific on your process steps, ensure your measure of success is an objective measurement i.e. assessment, climate survey or any related instrument.

This is the very basic outline of how to create a development plan.
