Personal Action Planning

Reflection, Discussion & Action Planning

A lot of attention is devoted in management programs to “doing things right” – training managers to become more efficient. However, efficiency is only one piece of the puzzle. Rarely do managers take the time to reflect on their actions. The DOOR InsideOut Effective Leadership is a “timeout” from this autopilot. Managers must learn how to be effective; they must learn how to produce the most results for their organizations. In most cases, managers are appointed because they are the carriers of knowledge in their organizations. This does not necessarily make them effective managers. We assert that in order to be effective – as well as efficient – managers must first of all have a good sense of who they are, and an understanding of where their time, talent, knowledge, skills and personal strengths are best invested. This transformation cannot occur in a day. It takes courage and diligence to conduct such introspection. This is what this DOOR training program is about.

Approach

Through professional interviews to determine suitability for the program, the trainer will look at how you already work, e.g. interpersonal and communication skills, and will then assess what you do well, what limits your effectiveness, and what needs to change. From this objective standpoint, you and the trainer will create and implement a strategy to change the way you work. Each participant will be assigned a trainee from the program. Participants become both trainers and trainees.

Topics

Reflection: fluent, expressive, nonjudgmental daily writing

Observation: evaluating one’s writing and drawing conclusions

Implementation: taking the necessary action to become more effective

Training Objectives

At the end of this training you will be able to:

2.It is the combination and flow of internal (within the self) and external (the environment) management that create effective management.
