“Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.”
\n\u2013William A. Ward<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In order to effectively lead your team to success, you as a leader must help them understand how they support the \u201cbig picture\u201d.\u00a0 Individual and team goals and roles must be clearly aligned with those of the organization, and used as the basis of rewards and development planning.<\/p>\n

PeopleTek’s Strategic Plan Process<\/h2>\n

Successful leaders build a plan and use it. At PeopleTek we use and recommend the “strategic plan process.” This plan uses seven steps that help you easily identify where you currently are, and the steps required to get you where you want to be.<\/p>\n

The steps in the plan are:<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong> \u2013 Agree on the mission or objective
\nStep 2<\/strong> \u00ad- Agree on the focus areas; we suggest 3 -5 (also called streams)
\nStep 3<\/strong> \u2013 Agree on the desired result for each focus area or stream
\nStep 4<\/strong> \u2013 List the CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS (pre-requisites or dependencies)
\nStep 5<\/strong> \u2013 Identify the \u2018AS IS\u2019 for each focus area (be honest)
\nStep 6<\/strong> \u2013 Brainstorm and prioritize the \u201cHOW TO\u2019s\u201d for each focus area
\nStep 7<\/strong> \u2013 Ensure accountability by assigning owners to each focus area<\/p>\n

Ensuring accountability is critical. An owner must be assigned for each focus area and for each \u201cHOW TO\u201d step, with each step having a target date for completion.<\/p>\n

This planning process can also be used for individual development planning. Assess where each individual is, and state where you want them \u201cto be\u201d. Your plan could include specific courses (up-skilling specific functions essential for a job, perhaps technical needs, as well as leadership and soft-skill development.\u00a0 It could also include cross training within areas of your current company or organization, a mentorship (either to be a mentor or be mentored), and even perhaps plans for a total career change.\u00a0 Technical and professional networks could also be identified.<\/p>\n

Track the progress of your plans, update them as needed, and celebrate your successes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
