What is a Leadership Development Plan?

__

A leadership development plan (or LDP) is an action plan designed to help develop leaders within your organization. It is usually in the form of a written document but can come in other formats as well. LDPs can take one of two forms: a formal LDP or a non-formal LDP.

Formal LDPs are created during the recruitment process usually in the form of a questionnaire whose results help determine the type of leader a candidate would become and, after hiring, can also be used to discuss areas where your employee can improve. A formal LDP has a clear goal and objective, but in a non-formal LDP, you don’t necessarily know what you’re trying to achieve. It is a flexible and adaptable process that allows individuals to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, set goals for their personal and professional growth, and take action to improve their leadership skills. When creating a non-formal LDP, it’s often helpful to draw up a list of potential objectives and then select the most relevant ones for your business.
