  1. Creating Your personal leadership Plan Donna Grande, Products and Services Vice President ANA

  2. Objectives • Understand importance of developing a leadership plan • Differentiate an organizational plan from a personal leadership plan • Review the Leadership Assessment • Initiate your own personal leadership plan

  3. Why develop a Leadership Plan? “ Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality through planning.” --Warren Bennis American scholar and pioneer in leadership studies

  4. Ask yourself… • How do you want to be remembered? • What legacy do you want to leave? • Is there a unique role or gap you can fill at this time and in this place? • What is your calling….your vision? • What impact do you want to have on your place of employment or your state nurses association?

  5. Challenges • 50-65% of newly appointed executives fail within the first 18 months of their assignments • Not an inevitability • Requires intentionality • Preparation and commitment

  6. Exceptional Executive’s Power Source • 10-year study of executive performance • Demonstrate the choice, breadth, context, connections • Decades of Leadership effectiveness studies • Learning—skills/ability to adapt to new circumstances • Posture of curiosity and suspended disbelief • Understand business systems • Emotional and social intelligence • Character • Clarity of aspiration

  7. How many of you have taken a 360-assessment or participated in a personal feedback process?

  8. Assessment Tools • Leadership Practices Inventory • Myers Briggs • Gallup’s Strengths Finder • Life Balance Wheel • DiSC Assessments • Center for Creative Leadership and the customized 360-assessment instrument • Others

  9. Leadership Practices Inventory Five Leadership Practices—(Kouzes, Posner) • Model the Way—find your voice and model the way • Inspire a Shared Vision—envision the future and enlist others in your vision • Challenge the Process—search for opportunities, experiment and take risks • Enable Others to Act—foster collaboration and strengthen others • Encourage the Heart—recognize contributions and celebrate values and victories

  10. Resources for Planning These tools will help you: • Define your Development Goals • Assess mid-range capability and make it stronger • Identify a weakness and transform it into a mid-range strength • Compensate for a weakness by creating strategies to work around it

  11. What do Leaders Need? • Leaders need feedback—it increases self-awareness which helps us respond to a variety of situations • Leaders need variety in leadership—a variety of challenges, increases awareness of development gaps—each time gaps are closed, skills are acquired. • Leaders need the ability to learn from experience—a variety of experiences provides an opportunity to learn new skills rather than simply repeating past habits

  12. Differences • Organizational Strategic Plan—mission, vision, goals, objectives, strategies and tactics • Personal Leadership Plan—a tool to inspire those around you—to chart your course for the next three years

  13. What Constitutes a Leadership Plan? • Leadership vision • Blind Spots • Learning agenda/opportunities • Personal mission statement • Early wins • Strategic alignments • Celebrations

  15. Vision • What do you want to create for yourself and those around you? • Create a vision that can be understood by the entire organization • Remember to be inspirational

  16. Reflection and Application • Recall exemplary leadership practices • Identify blind spots • How will you manage your blind spots • What will you need to move your vision forward?

  17. Opportunities • List three tough decisions • What would you do differently next time to achieve early wins?

  18. Align your Goals • Identify three activities to advance your goals and those of your organization. • How will you accomplish these? • Who will help you? • Identify supporters • Plan your victory party

  19. Conclusion • Effective leaders create a climate where people can turn challenges into success. • In today’s climate of change, leaders must be prepared. They need to take the time for self-reflection, develop a personal leadership plan, and be prepared to lead their organization to success.
