What a great way to help identify areas of growth and make a plan to ensure you get there.
Hello,
I learned that leadership isn't a title, but a daily practice based on clarity, consistency, and service: defining priorities, communicating the "why," building trust, and empowering the team to make sound decisions.
I also understood that conflict can be productive if handled with respect, data, and clear rules, and that performance improves when we remove roadblocks and protect time for what truly matters.
I plan to apply this by setting explicit goals and roles, providing frequent feedback, recognizing contributions with intention, and creating routines for follow-up and continuous learning to improve week after week.
A leadership legacy is about more than titles or accomplishments—it’s about the impact you leave on people. It’s reflected in how others felt supported, empowered, and respected because of your leadership. The choices you make, the values you model, and the way you treat others shape a legacy that lasts well beyond your time in the role.
This was a helpful training to be able to produce a plan and then think of how it should be placed into action.

Helpful reminder about goal-setting.
I really enjoyed learning more about the PLDP tool and how I can use it with my Department Chair for the upcoming semester. In addition, I also liked learning about the ways to use it to help develop our team as well.
There are various tools and resources available to help me become a better leader. The PLDT will help me be more accountable and effective within the department. I can also use this with the team as well.
We need to incorporate more planning and measurement into how we evaluate staff and leaders

The Professional Leadership Development Plan is a helpful tool that I can use for myself and also share with other aspiring leaders in my organization.
