Executive summary
Leadership is the way in which a person of a particular class can act to motivate a group of
people performing some related task together. People exercises leadership as a gift from God. As
a leader, I should be a self-motivated and a role model to the group. I should be able to showcase
myself as a good example to the others. To be honest, there are a number of things which
inspires me to be a future great leader.
One of the most important thing which has inspired me so much to be a prominent future leader
is that am trying as much as possible to be honest. Ethical behavior is a good element of a good
leader. Ethics is the way in which a person is showing morality to the others in his ways of life
(it is acting in a positive way and showing good manners to the others)
Another element is to be able to communicate a vision- as a leader, I should have vision on what
is going to happen. Vision is simply what you can deliver to the people to whom you are leading
them. I shall make a plan showing all the strategies about what am going to deliver to the people
in the set duration of time. In this case, my leadership role will be able to setup in 2 years’ time
since I have already bolster my skills and experience throughout my current career.
Creativity is another aspect which is very important when it comes to leadership. This comes in
the sense that we should be able to understand various types of moods of the people and how to
handle them. McCleskey, (2014) Therefore, I should be very creative enough to ensure that I
handle my team members in the right way. For example, when they are passing their grievances,
there are some of the skills that I should be possessing when the time comes.
Introduction

Personal Future Development Plan 3
The role of a leader in every organization is to ensure that everything is running smoothly. A
leader is someone who is very responsible to handle cases and make reconciliation in case of any
differences. In this case, I should be able to find ways to do self-assessment so that I can be able
to understand my character. I will do this by asking friends and relatives to describe short stories
about me. From their description, I should be able to understand my strengths and weaknesses
concerning my leadership skills and knowledge. (Pearce, Conger & Locke, 2008).
However, I will be able to learn a lot from this scenario and change tactics on my future
leadership plans. I will have to note them down so that I can be able to understand what is right
and what is wrong about my leadership ways.
The GROW Model Conceptual Model
In this report, I use The GROW model to plan my future leadership strategies. The GROW
stands for: goals, current reality, options (obstacles) and will or way forward. In this analysis, I
will have to set the goals I will need to achieve in 2 years’ time. Also, I should also set my
decision making based on the current reality because the audience need to see that everything or
a service being offered to them is actually basing on the real objects and functions.
After understanding my current state, I will have to choose routes on how I can be able to reach
to the destination. Leadership plan is like a journey where start by travelling until you reach the
last point. I will then established a will to ensure that am up to the task and prepared for any
obstacle which comes across my way.

I endeavor to contribute towards improving life for others through enhanced wellbeing and
personal satisfaction. In my expert work, it's critical that I feel like my work matters and is

Personal Future Development Plan 6
Creating and keeping up great connections is likewise critical to me, both professionally and in
my own life.
What spurs me?
 Natural inspiration: The longing to work admirably and have a positive effect.
 Extraneous: Praise or helpful criticism from others.
 Life stock - Accomplishments
For expert achievements, I am pleased with accomplishments when I worked at the American
Lung Association in Oregon and sorted out a sans tobacco school activity, which prompted a few
universities going 100% without tobacco. I additionally started and drove a fruitful exertion to
accomplish a statewide approach for sans tobacco Head Start properties. Ensley, Hmieleski, &
Pearce, (2006).
In my present work environment, I had some noteworthy achievements when I was in charge of
progressing usage of the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act, including administering forms identified
with standards modifications and preparing identified with authorization.
In my own life, I encounter a few issues with perpetual agony. I turned around a descending
winding numerous years prior and have observed approaches to have the capacity to accomplish
more with less agony.
I have a brilliant association with my better half Elizabeth, and also her little girl Mathilda.
Something that I appreciate doing in my extra time is playing Scrabble. My high score is 497,

What does achievement intend to me?

Personal Future Development Plan 7
As noted above, I esteem realizing that I'm contributing towards other individuals' joy and
personal satisfaction, and realizing that I'm having a beneficial outcome. Achievement is the
point at which I can feel like I'm having any kind of effect for other people, while likewise
having the capacity to make the most of my own life. Some portion of that incorporates keeping
up a decent work-individual life balance, and not taking work home with me all the time,
regardless of whether that be real work or worry from the day or things on the plan for the day.
Cox, Pearce, & Perry, (2003).
Accomplishment at work likewise incorporates helping other people build up their own potential
and work to perfection. I've delighted in circumstances that I've needed to mentor other
individuals.
My objectives
In a discussion with Dr. Steve Orton with respect to the aftereffects of my self-Assessment
appraisal, he recommended that I read Immunity to Change to pick up a more prominent
comprehension of a portion of the issues distinguished through my evaluation. In the course of
recent months I read the book and built up my own invulnerability to change delineate.
My dedication (enhancement objective) from that activity is to go for broke and place myself
into circumstances where I can't control every one of the results. What I right now do rather than
that is abstain from sharing my musings in vast gatherings, check with others for things I can
choose my own, and close down or occupy when I see strife. My concealed contending
responsibilities are to not sound moronic, not commit an error, not feel humiliated, not lose
control of my feelings, and not disillusion others. Normally, I perceive how those are not

Personal Future Development Plan 8
balanced drivers, but rather this is getting down to even more a root comprehension of why I do
or don't do certain things.
The "huge suspicions" behind my contending duties incorporates a presumption that individuals
will pass judgment on me and consider less me on the off chance that I commit an error. Once
more, soundly I comprehend that everybody commits errors, however I experience considerable
difficulties enabling myself to commit any errors, which may result in me going for broke less
regularly. Bligh, Pearce, & Kohles, (2006).
Throughout the following two years, I will put in my effort every week following the direction in
Immunity to Change to accumulate information and test suppositions with the end goal to gain
ground toward accomplishing my enhancement objective. I resolve to go for broke and place
myself in circumstances where I can't control every one of the results.
Over the span of this previous year, I believe I gained great ground on my authority advancement
venture, in spite of the fact that I didn't accomplish as much as I had at first foreseen amid this
time period. I finished foundation look into, assembled a work gathering, and planned and
handled a review of my segment's staff and chiefs identified with our Employee Development
Plan process.
I will keep on driving this undertaking and propel it through the accompanying subsequent
stages:
 Complete information examination and get ready draft proposals for process
enhancement or different activities shown by the staff and supervisor review
 Review discoveries and draft proposals with work gathering
 Present suggestions to chiefs

Personal Future Development Plan 9
 Work with supervisors to set up a usage plan.
Throughout the following two years I will finish the goals I built up for my society authority
venture by delivering a composed synopsis report, verbally displaying suggestions to chiefs, and,
whenever bolstered by administrators, setting up an execution plan identified with Employee
Development Plan process enhancement. Osterwalder, & Pigneur, (2010).
I will keep on examining with my chief open doors for me to additionally create initiative
aptitudes. I will volunteer for assignments where I can possibly make a positive commitment and
learn through the procedure. In one year prior, our segment supervisor put out a call for
volunteers for another persistent quality enhancement board of trustees. I volunteered and will be
an individual from that panel.
I will take part in my area's consistent quality enhancement board of trustees. (Insights with
respect to what that will involve to be resolved, as the panel has not yet had an underlying
gathering.)
The above targets are present moment throughout the following a while. In any case, I intend to
keep looking for open doors for development, for example, those depicted previously. I don't yet
have as unmistakably settled long haul objectives. I will keep on talking about with my chief
open doors for expert advancement and investigate alternatives for my profession pathway.
My core values
Compassion and respect: organizing the acknowledgment of the respect of other individuals in
all parts of initiative and choices.

My Feedback from others

Personal Future Development Plan 11
In my identity as a good leaders, I will try as much as possible to remain trusted as a leader even
without my presence. I will ensure that I should be able to show all these in my action by
working round the clock to ensure that I make both ends meet. Service delivery is the key
objective which ensures my commitment and determination as a performer of the day.
Being honest to the society throughout, will make me much prominent and will make me shine
as a sign of unity and peace in the society. In this case I will ensure that I remain loyal to the
people. I will ensure that I exercise this by participating in all the functions and interact with
them. Also I have to make sure that in every decision making process, public participation is
involved. It will strengthen the trust I will be having in my followers. Puu, & Sushko, (2006).
I should also like people to admire my leadership even when am not in their presence. I can
achieve this by following the right tactics of leadership and ensuring that my core values are
followed keenly. For example setting up a legacy as a record for people to keep remembering me
about. Also my creativity and innovativeness will help me to implement new things which the
society can keep remembering me about them. For example setting up new projects will set a
good base in the relationship between me and the people.
The initiative styles that I regularly utilize are affiliative, vote based and instructing. I will in
general painstakingly break down circumstances and accumulate contribution from others before
deciding.
My style will in general be shared as opposed to aggressive. On the Conger, & Kanungo,
(1994). strife mode instrument, I scored high on working together and furthermore obliging (at
around the 90th percentile for each), and low on contending (tenth percentile). While that helps
make me an incredible cooperative person, the drawback is that I may invest excessively energy

Personal Future Development Plan 12
in joint effort where I could simply settle on a choice myself. As noted in the Conger, &
Kanungo, (1994). booklet, "the abuse of coordinated effort and consensual basic leadership once
in a while speaks to a longing to limit chance - by diffusing obligation regarding a choice or by
delaying activity."
This lines up with the data given by Dr. Walker's introduction at the second NWPHLI on
location, with respect to adaptability and job moving to adjust distinctive authority types. For the
pleasant sort, where I will in general be regularly, it is useful to build decisiveness - "tell more,
ask less, take control." Drescher, Korsgaard, Welpe, Picot & Wigand, (2014).
I have great relational abilities, particularly in 1:1 or little gathering correspondence. I will in
general be more saved in huge gatherings and now and again when there is seen struggle. My
low T-K score in contending serves me well here and there, for example, being a decent
cooperative person, yet it additionally is a pointer of my uneasiness with utilizing my very own
capacity and impact at work.
Ensuring I live the desired live in two years’ time
I will set an arrangement on my schedule for 30 minutes every week to audit my advancement
towards accomplishing the enhancement objective noted in target 1 above, utilizing the
procedure put forward in Immunity to Change.
At any rate month to month, I will have a discussion with my supervisor to assemble criticism on
my advancement towards accomplishing my administration goals. Cavalcante, Kesting, & Ulhøi,
(2011).
Eliminating obstacles

Personal Future Development Plan 13
The advancement mindfulness and individual targets segments above depict a few propensities
regarding musings and activities (or inaction) that may have introduced boundaries to fruitful
administration improvement previously. Through my authority destinations as depicted above, I
will go for broke, connect more with others to accomplish my targets, and learn through new
encounters. Morris, Schindehutte, & Allen, (2005).
I will keep on following the procedure sketched out in Immunity to Change to limit or wipe out
hindrances by scrutinizing the enormous presumptions that underlie contending responsibilities
to my enhancement objective.
Requirements for a successful leadership plan
I will search out and partake in chances to connect with and gain from other general wellbeing
experts, both inside my very own worksite and remotely. Burke, Fiore, & Salas, (2003).
I will survey the direction in Immunity to Change to remain on track with accomplishing my
enhancement objective.
Conclusion
In conclusion, leadership is dynamic and that is why it is considered as a journey. It involves
steps and learning processes which has person need to learn in life. Leadership requires and
acquisition of some soft skills to build a strong relationship between you and the people.
