INMGT 400/600 Organizational Leadership Assignment 1
Leadership Competencies Development – An IDP
The Scenario
You have just had a meeting with your boss (leader and mentor) who has strongly suggested that you are too focused on work and that you need to put some balance into your life, take some time for yourself, and expand your horizons. He/she has suggested you take up a new hobby as a way of accomplishing all of these goals. He/she has offered to meet with you again in two weeks to view your IDP (Individual Development Plan) and offer further advice.
Assignment Instructions and Requirements
1. Rename this document, and delete everything except the IDP form at the end of the document
2. Identify one (1) short-term (meaning within the next 12 months or sooner) personal development goal (the acquisition/mastery of a new skill and/or knowledge) you would like to achieve.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NOT a professional or career goal, and not a personal wellness, affirmation, or life goal (Examples of unacceptable goals for this assignment: get my master’s degree, get a job, get married, lose 15 pounds, stop smoking, take a vacation, etc. etc. etc.)
3. In the IDP form write your personal development goal using the SMART format (if you don’t recall or don’t know what the SMART format is then Google it), then list the barriers, if any, that maybe preventing you from being able to start to working on your goal today.
4. Complete the IDP form by identifying the specific objectives/measureable milestones you will use to reach your goal, the specific action you will take to complete each objective, how you will measure your progress and know when you have been successful, and your time line (start date and deadline).
5. That’s it – nothing else – submit your IDP before the stated due date and time. Late submissions will receive no credit (0 points).
