What: My Personal Development Goals
Consider the competencies that outline the skills, knowledge and competencies that represent great performance in your
current role and/or a role to which you aspire. Based on feedback from your 360, peers and/or other colleagues, select at
least two areas in which you would like to develop. You may focus only on your current role, or you might select one area
that applies to your current role and one area that is more aspirational. Write specific goals describing how/what you want
to change or improve.
Ask yourself: What can I do differently/better that would make the greatest positive impact in my work? What development
priorities will give me the greatest leverage in improving my individual leadership and management competencies or my
organization’s performance?
