ABSTRACT

Introduction Now, it’s up to you to develop and execute a plan! Using the MyProjectAdvisor® leadership competency pyramid as a model, and following the transformational steps associated with self-directed leadership development, you are well on the way. This chapter outlines broad timeframes and discusses specific actions and tools for you to begin your journey. The timeframes are general and may be shorter or longer depending on the individual. Actions are outlined for each of the four steps-commit, acquire and assess, practice, and serve. Table 24.1 is a summary of the recommended timeframes, steps, and actions to follow over the first year. Use this model to create a custom plan that is right for you. Appendix B contains several exercises and tools to guide you through the process.
