Leadership Development Plan
20 points
Name _____________________________________________Date_______________________
Instructions: Approach this assignment as you would a patient care plan, but make the subject of the care plan yourself, and your future as a nurse leader. Try to envision where you want to be and what you want to be doing in 1, 5, or 10 years (this is an example; the timeframe is up to you). What, specifically, will need to happen and/or be required of you in order to realize this vision? What, specifically, will you DO, and when, in order to achieve your goals and thus enjoy your preferred future? How, specifically, will you measure your success in achieving your goals? Be as specific as possible when writing both short-term and long- term goals, and incorporate a tentative timeframe into your action plan. Consider it a “work in progress” which you will update in the months and years to come, as you achieve or modify a goal or re-think your strategy for achieving a goal. Complete each section, and add additional goals if needed. You do not need to have three short-term goals for each long-term goal if not appropriate, though make sure they are specific, realistic and time sensitive.
Due: Submit your leadership plan per course calendar due date to your individual Assignment – Assessment area.
