1. Create a 1-year personal development plan.
• This plan should synthesize your assessment results with research you have completed.
• Identify at least three things you would like to work on over the next year.
2. Develop a timeline for your personal development plan with specific metrics to measure your progress.
One potential way to approach this part is to create a table to break the three goals into actionable steps after you have identified three things that you would like to work on. Your table should have the following four columns.
• First column: Overall goals.
• Second column: All the steps necessary to reach each goal.
• Third column: How you will measure the progress toward each step.
• Fourth column: The deadline for completing the steps.
Before you can begin to lead others, you must first understand yourself. You must understand your strengths so you can further develop those talents, and you must also understand your weaknesses so you can identify areas to improve. Both strengths and weaknesses should be included in a personal development plan.
The ACHE healthcare executive 2021 competencies assessment tool [PDF] is particularly important for this assessment. Complete the assessment tool if you haven’t completed it already, review the results, then analyze the results, and develop a personal leadership plan to set goals for the future.
The assessment tool is broken into five domains:
• Communication and relationship management
• Leadership

Based on the information you’ve provided, we can’t access or complete the ACHE assessment for you. However, I can guide you through creating a personal development plan using the framework and your own self-reflection.
Step 1: Identify Your Goals
Choose at least 3 goals that resonate with you. Here are some examples:
Step 2: Develop a Timeline and Action Plan
Use a table to break down your goals into actionable steps.
Here’s an example structure:
Overall Goal | Steps | Measurement | Deadline |
Improve public speaking skills | * Enroll in a public speaking course (August 2024) * Join a Toastmasters club and participate in meetings (ongoing) * Practice presentations in front of a mirror or record myself (weekly) | * Completion of course certificate * Active participation in Toastmasters (track attendance) * Improvement in self-recorded presentations (identify areas for improvement) | December 2024 (ongoing for Toastmasters) |

Remember, personal development is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself, celebrate your progress, and enjoy the process of becoming your best self.
