dividual Development Plan (IDP)

The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a very important part of the EPHLI. It allows you to plan the personal leadership skills you intend to build

during the year, and it gives us a way to measure those skills.

The attached goal form and example are to help you plan and record your own IDP activities. Draft and submit your personal plan to the program

coordinator and to your Mentor by April 21, 2008. You will be asked to assess yourself on these goals at the end of EPHLI experience.

Here’s what to do:



Review. Carefully review the results of your SKILLSCOPE 360 survey and your MBTI. Identify areas that would benefit from your attention

during this year of EPHLI.



Identify. Identify between two and three leadership skills that you will focus on to improve during EPHLI.



Reflect. Think about the leadership project that you have chosen to work on this year. Identify opportunities that your project work will bring in

terms of further honing leadership skills that you have chosen to work on during EPHLI.



Set goals. Goals might include a skill you wish to have or to further hone. We suggest that you build one to three goals around things you

learned from your 360 feedback, self-assessed needs, and input from others.



List specific activities or steps you will take to reach each goal. (See example attached).



Write down how you will measure success. Note that the shaded parts of the attached form are to be filled out later, as you assess your

progress.



Record your results. As you complete the activities, write them down on the form. At the end of the year we’ll ask you to report whether you did

the activities and met your goals. Of course, you can revise the activities and goals. Keep some extra sheets so you can do that as needed.

See the attached example and if you want further ideas contact Nicole Kozma or your Mentor. Please complete one sheet (non-shaded

parts) for each of your main goals. If at all possible, we much prefer that you do this on your computer using an electronic version of this

form that we will make available to you. By April 21, 2008, please submit a copy of your IDP plan to Nicole Kozma and to your Mentor

so that we can help keep track of your progress. Please send your IDP to us attached to an email.
