INTRODUCTION
A personal development plan is a written record of a process of self-reflection,
introspection, and an honest assessment of an individual's strengths and weaknesses.
Furthermore, individuals must perform a talent audit before creating a personal development
plan since this will aid them in analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. Individuals create a
career and progression plan and analyzing their weaknesses, which assists them in effectively

All of these will contribute to an individual's improved growth as well as the efficient conduct of
tasks connected to a brighter future.

 Negative feedback consists of reprimands for previous actions.
 Positive feedback is when someone compliments you on your previous actions.
 Negative feed-forward — remarks regarding future performance that are meant to be
corrective...
 Positive feedback — remarks that reaffirm future behaviour.
