Personal Development Plans
6. PDPs in Action
The power of PDPs is that they focus on the development of the individual. But certain employees may still have similar needs.
6.1 High fliers need to be challenged. If they are not constantly developing, at the speed they feel is necessary, they may leave.
- Such employees may wish to consider objectives such as winning promotion, running an exciting new project or getting involved in setting business strategy.
6.2 Under-performers need clear-cut, short-term objectives.
- For example, a driver who has a problem with lateness needs to focus on correcting the cause of this bad habit.
- An under-performer must start by recognising his or her own needs, rather than blaming other people. Otherwise there is no motive to improve.
