In this assessment, students are required to reflect and develop a personal development plan $($PDP$)$

incorporating the organization design and strategy approaches. The aim of creating a personal

development plan is to document a process of self$-$analysis, personal reflection, and honest

appraisal of your strengths and weaknesses. This should enable you to evaluate the value of the

leadership and management training you have received and to consider your future leadership

development. Below is a brief guide on completing this assessment:

a$.$ Stage $1$ Personal Analysis. The first stage is designed to analyze your strengths and

weaknesses. You will be able to draw heavily upon your completion of the group assignment.

These should be supplemented by the perceived opportunities that will have been derived from

your experience and any threats to your continued success. Basically, this is also known as personal

SWOT analysis.

b$.$ Stage $2$ Setting Goals. This involves setting new and clearly definable goals for yourself

which are measurable. Students are suggested to use SMART $($Specific$,$ Measurable, Attainable,

Relevant, Timely$)$ approach to set goals. Alternatively, students can address a few questions to

complete this stage, such as:

$$ What do I want to learn?

$$ What do I have to do$?$ What support and resources will I need?

$$ How will I measure success?

$$ Target date for review?

c$.$ Stage $3$ Personal Objectives. This stage involves setting out your personal objectives.

Students are advised to list and elaborate on their $($i$)$ short$-$term goals $($next $12$ months$)$; $($ii$)$

medium$-$term goals $($next $2-3$ years$)$; $($iii$)$ long$-$term goals $($beyond $3$ years$).$
