LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT ACTION PLAN
Being appointed Chief Security Office (CSO) and being responsible for my company’s success during this time of significant change would require some major changes within me and my leadership skills. One of the most important attributes of a successful leader is self-knowledge about their distinctiveness and areas that require improvement.
I came to the realization that I need improvement in at least three areas to be a successful leader as a CSO. The leadership areas that I noticed that would require improvement toward my leadership development is, Managing Stress, Gaining Power and Influence, and Developing Self Awareness.
These areas are the most important areas to me that I need improvement in order for my company to be successful and others would know they have a good leader to follow. This is my Leadership Development Action Plan that would guide me into becoming an effective CSO.
Managing Stress
According to Developing Management Skills, Developing the skill of managing stress, therefore, can have significant payoff. The book also states that the ability to deal appropriately with stress not only enhances individual self-development but can also have an enormous bottom-line impact on entire organizations. One of my stressors is time management. During my work hours I am bad at managing my time and getting all assignments done and in a timely fashion. I mostly sit behind my desk working on not so important things and toward the end of the day I would work on my important assignments. I also procrastinate at times. I never finish more than one project this way. When something urgent is needed to be done right away I often find myself stressed, because I still have other things on my desk to be done, there may be a last minute meeting that I have to attend or I am needed to
