Creating an individual development plan is a way to plan what changes your career will take for improvement. You can ask your employer if the human resources department provides any resources for this plan. First consider what your goals are and where your strengths lie. Then do research to find out what areas you need to work on to better yourself. Create a short term plan as well as a long
. term plan. Set milestones to meet and check your progress periodically. Finally, take the first steps towards your goal as soon as you have your plan. For more information on IDPs visit http://govleaders.org/idp.htm.
