The development of a person's characteristics and professional development is considered as important aspect of the career of a person. Therefore, having a personal professional development is very much required for a person.
After evaluating my skill and assessing my main objectives, I find out my strengths and weaknesses and try to develop those by conducting a personal development plan. I make this personal development plan in according to my personal and professional career such as: for being a manager or an manager.
Personal development planning is the process through which I ponder on the learning, performance and accomplishment of mine and it can help to evaluate and develop my skill. This learning and achievement helps to improve my CV and also helps to ready the form of application for recruitment. In fact, personal development plan helps me to determine my objectives and take further decision to achieve these objectives. This plan supports me to identify my strength and weakness and motivate me to establish my objectives according to the feedback. It provides tools by which I can assess the achievement of mine. For conducting this plan successfully, I have to document my personal development plan. Also, I can participate on training program which may be on the job or off the job training or e-learning.
After doing my personal development planning, I reset my objectives on the basis of feedback. Now my objectives are to prove myself as a capable candidate for recruitment. For this reason, I improve the feature or personality of mine and also develop my CV as the requirement of each employment of different companies.
In order to being a successful manager, he or she should has to contain some professional and personal skills such as: leadership, time management skill, meeting running, presentation making, management of stress etc. Leadership skill is considered as the managerial skill which is used for the purpose of motivating the peoples of the group in order to achieve the common goal. In this competitive market, it is very much needed to contain the skill of leadership by the manager through which he or she can lead the organization effectively and efficiently. Leadership is mainly related with the capacity where leader contains the capacity to listen others' opinion and observe the activities of employees. Not only is this, in the decision making areas, the skills very much needed for the manager of an organization. One more thing is that if the employees are not motivated to do their works then the business can't be run and the manager with leadership skill can be greatly motivated to the employees of their works and try to give their best. For the purpose of managing time, the manager should be more organized, efficient and as well as happier. The skill of personal time management is consisted of the activities of setting of goals, planning, prioritizing, make the decision, delegating and scheduling. By using time management skill, wastage can be eliminated, make preparation for attending the meeting, excessive workload refusing, project progress can be monitored, plans can be made for each day and each week efficiently and effectively.
CONCLUSION:
To survive in such a competitive market and for developing personal character, any individual person must continue to build a strong personal development plan. Though we know that the organization should concentrate on external environment i.e. its competitor, its image etc, but alongside it should also give emphasis on its internal sector i.e. its employees. Because, for any company, employees are the main strength and without them any work such as production or administrative service can not run. These employees play main role in their working place on achieving competitive advantage against other companies and gain long-term sustainable growth. For this reason, an employee as a person should develop his character and make a personal development plan.
