Personal Leadership Development Plan
Introduction
The Personal Leadership Development Plan (PLDP) is the culmination of the course on Authentic Leadership Development. It is your plan that you will prepare to guide your development as a leader for many years to come. As such, it should be a dynamic plan that you refer to on a regular basis to reflect your leadership experiences and changes in your thinking about your development.
Take several hours to complete the plan, integrating the exercises you have done previously in this course as part of the document, with appropriate updating based upon your outlook today. Be sure to begin this exercise well in advance, so that you will have adequate time to think it through and make changes as appropriate. Be as thorough and complete as possible in developing your plan, even if this requires some speculation on your part about what lies ahead.
Your PLDP will be submitted to your professor on a confidential basis along with your course paper.
