The development plan

What you have to build in yourself for those goals to be reachable, and how.

What to develop, and how

Go back to your role competency scores and your blind spot. Pick the two or three that would move the most, then be specific about how you will build them. A book or a course is not a plan. Doing a real piece of work with someone who is a rung ahead of you, and asking them what they saw, is.

Write it as though a manager or a coach is going to ask you about it, because that is exactly what this page is for.

What I am developingHow. The actual steps, not the intentionSupport I need, and who fromBy when

The one thing I will practise every week, whether or not it is going wellWhat I want from a coach, mentor or manager in all this

When you have filled it in

This is the page worth talking through with someone.

A plan written alone tends to be either too safe or too big. Half an hour with someone who has done it is usually the difference between a plan you follow and one you feel guilty about. The first call is free.
