Personal 
Development 
Plan
Transition: This would be a good place to take the opportunity to return to 
the Personal Development Plans you have been working on. 
Refer participants to the Personal Development Plan forms beginning on 
Page 41 of their Participant Guides. 
Ask participants to take a few moments to reflect on the information we 
have covered so far today and make any notations they would like to on 
their Personal Development Plan forms.
Transition: We’ve touched on the fact that it is not appropriate for leaders 
to make 
every
decision or do 
everything
. In order for you to do your best 
job as a leader and to develop your staff to their fullest potential, you must 
be willing to delegate. Delegation is the first topic in our next section, 
“Bringing Out the Best in You and Your People.”
