- Students turn in a copy of the PLDP to their instructors NLT DOT 20. On DOT 23, instructors meet with each student individually to provide feedback on the plan. At a minimum, instructors must cover the following during their feedback: -- Did the student capture all elements of the plan?
-- Does his/her action plan meet the intent of the assignment?
-- Did the instructor identify problem areas that are not on the plan, but should be?
-- Reinforce the importance of adjusting the plan as needed.
Content:
- The PLDP must address the following: -- Part I: Personal Values --- List your top 5 personal values in order of importance (i.e., compassion, teamwork, etc.) and provide a brief description of what the value means to you and how each value impacts your life and your potential leadership effectiveness
--- These 5 values should be in addition to the AF Force Core Values. While the core values are extremely important, they are ‘organizational' values. The student must focus on ‘personal' values.
-- Part II: Leadership Vision Statement --- In a vision statement of 300-400 words, capture the type of leader you want to be and what you want to accomplish as a leader
--- Visualize yourself as a leader in the future
--- Use the personal values you identified in Part I as a foundation
-- Part III: Strengths and Improvement Areas --- Based on the information you learned about yourself in this course from the lesson concepts, self-assessments, and peer and instructor feedback:
-- List 3 personal strengths and briefly explain why each is a strength
--- List 3 areas of improvement and explain why each area needs work
-- Part IV: Development Action Plan: --- Using the information from Part III, compose an action plan to help guide your development over the next 3-5 years. Focus your attention on your 3 strengths and 3 improvement areas you would like to work on. When developing your action plan, answer the following questions:
--- What are you going to improve/continue to develop?
--- How are you going to improve/continue to develop the area?
--- Timeframe? How long do you need to work on that area?
--- Resources needed? Do you need any resources to help (i.e., additional training)?
--- How will you measure success?
-- While completing Part IV, make sure all elements of the Development Action Plan are SMART: --- Specific - What, when, why and how
--- Measurable - How are you going to know if you have met your goal?
--- Acceptable - Can you do it?
--- Realistic - Is your plan really going to work?
--- Timeframe - How long is it going to take you?
