Leadership Action
Plan Exercise
To help boost your confidence
and self-esteem, develop a
“Leadership Action Plan” of
items you plan to accomplish in
a file folder or notebook. The
actionable items can include
specific job tasks, new leadership
skills, and/or major work goals
for yourself, the team you lead,
and your department. A sample
form is found on this page.
Leadership Action Plan
Date: Action Item: Plan to Complete It: Positive Feedback: At the end of each day or week,
write down things you did well.
You might, for example, note
how you handled a difficult
situation that left everyone
satisfied, what you did to prepare
for and manage an effective team
meeting, or how you handled
problem-solving with a guest or
team situation.
Be sure to note when you
received praise from your own
leaders, peers, team, or guests for
a job well done.
You can use your “Leadership
Action Plan” to help yourself
work through new problems by
drawing on your past experience.
And you can use the record
to track your personal and
professional development.
