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.
