Personal Development Planning and Executive Coaching

Leadership development needs sustained effort. Many organizations go in for a primarily classroom based development which is a good start but is insufficient to groom leaders. A Personal Development Plan (PDP) based development framework helps ensure sustained effort and ownership.

In a PDP framework, a change objective is stated, followed by methods to achieve the change objective: attend a course, get mentored, observe self and others, pilot and experiment certain methods learnt in a course, etc. While developing the PDP and later while implementing the PDP, leaders need ongoing guidance and mentoring. For instance, while deciding on a change objective, it is essential to ensure that the leader has sufficient motivation to make the change. While implementing the PDP, the coach must ensure that the motivation is sustained and methods that did not work are dropped and alternative methods are explored.
