A 90-Day Leadership Action Plan has three components. The first step is developmental and happens before you begin executing your plan. You begin by articulating a leadership goal; then, you will break your larger goal down into concrete steps and resources; after that, you will identify 30-day and 90-day milestone markers for success.
The second step happens after the first 30-day milestone. At this point, you will review your progress, noting where you have been most successful and adjust your plan, if necessary.
And in the last step, after your 90-day action plan is complete, you’ll do a final evaluation, identifying where you have grown, what you have learned and how you might continue to grow.
