So I have to fill out a "development plan" for my job. It is kind of a career path plan for managers we have at my company and meant to be an ongoing document to be updated as time goes by. I have a Mentor to advise and a Pacer that serves as an accountability partner that helps me stay on track. I have to put down what I see as my strengths and my objectives as well as action steps to take to meet my objectives. It also has target dates for completion of objectives and for listing progress. The second portion is for development needs. Or before the world got politically correct they were called weaknesses. The same action steps and target apply to these too. It is challenging to come up with these aspects about oneself. Asking others I work with for their opinion is not really a good way to go about it either since I am their manager and they are my staff and truly honest answers may not be the result. So it is up to me to come up with strengths, weaknesses, and plans for my bosses to review.

I personally do not think I have any weaknesses and am a model employee and the standard I set should be held up to the world to emulate. I may be able to put down that I am too modest if I have to reach for something.

Anyway, this is my homework for tonight......
