Leadership Development Plan – Part 2

In Module 6, you began developing a leadership development plan for a member of your organization. In the Module 7 discussion, you shared your plan, highlighting its strengths and the challenges you face in creating it. Your peers also provided you with feedback. In this assignment, you will meet you’re your colleague again and revise and refine the plan. Step 1 Review the feedback your peers provided in the Module 7 discussion and any feedback your instructor has shared. Meet with your colleague again (face-to-face or virtually) to continue collaborating and adding details to the plan. Step 2 Revise and refine your leadership development plan. You may need to add more details or revise some of the language in the plan and support the plan with research evidence. Include APA-formatted in-text citations and title and reference pages. Step 3 Submit your polished leadership development plan. Ensure you have not included personal identifying information about your colleague. Peer review to incorporate into the plan. If needs be. Good morning, In specific terms, your leadership development plan articulates a firm grasp of why leadership development matters to your organization, and theoretical and evidence-based considerations informed its practical points of deliveries. You advanced the case for leadership development in your organization by clearly articulating your organization’s vision and mission, then succinctly identifying the challenges and opportunities presented by your organization’s environment. Additionally, you demonstrated a desire for a culture of continuous learning by addressing the challenges you have identified and building on the identified strengths of your plan. A suggestion I have for your plan is to recognize and celebrate achievements and milestones in leadership development to reinforce a positive learning culture. Best of luck! This is a very well-structured leadership development plan for a Lead Software Engineer. I particularly like your focus on the LDAC methodology and the DAC framework. These approaches offer a structured and practical way to develop leadership skills through real-world scenarios and team-based learning. One area you could consider adding is incorporating self-assessment tools alongside the LDAC process. These tools could help the Lead Software Engineer identify their own strengths and weaknesses as a leader, complementing the feedback received through LDAC exercises. Have you also thought about how you'll tailor the LDAC scenarios to the specific needs of the Lead Software Engineer? For example, will the scenarios focus on technical leadership, team motivation, or communication with stakeholders? Tailoring the scenarios will ensure the development activities directly address the skills needed for success in the role.
