Individual Development Plan: Key Questions to Ask Yourself

Key questions to ask yourself as you decide what to focus on in your Development Plan:

1. In what direction is my organization going and what will they need from me in the future?

2. What are my goals over the next three to five years? (This can help you find purpose in seemingly unimportant activities if you can see how they will help you toward your long term goals.

3. What are my greatest strengths and how can I build on them?

4. Do I have any serious “weaknesses” that make it difficult to do my job or will prevent me from reaching my goals?
