MGT M12 Developing Employees through Performance Management

Module 12: Critical Thinking 

Personal Development Plan (115 points)

Employee development is critical to an organization’s and an  individual’s success. Throughout Chapter 8, we have reviewed information  about personal development plans. We all have goals and objectives that  we hope to accomplish, which will allow us to grow and develop. It is  important that we create personal development plans to ensure that we  are working towards achieving the goals set forth.

For this assignment, you are required to create your own development  plan, which involves a short-term plan (spanning 1-2 years) and a  long-term plan (spanning 3-5 years). In both your short-term plan and  long-term plan, provide two development objectives, details regarding  how these objectives will be acquired, the timeframe associated with  skill/competency acquisition, and the type of support that you need from  a professional and personal standpoint. Consider, when developing these  objectives, utilizing SMART goals. 

In total, your plan should incorporate four development objectives  and associated details (e.g., two for the short-term plan and two for  the long-term plan). Remember that the goals identified are your own.  There is no right answer to the goals and objectives that you have  created. Therefore, be creative in this assignment submission, while  ensuring that you utilize the recommendations set forth in Chapter 8.
