90-Day Leadership Action Plan

Resource Provided By Vantage Point

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.

Goleman’s Leadership Styles

Goleman's Leadership Styles

Resource Provided By Vantage Point

“What are the six styles of leadership? None will shock workplace veterans.

Indeed, each style, by name and brief description alone, will likely resonate with anyone who leads, is led, or as is the case with most of us, does both.

Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. Authoritative leaders mobilize people toward a vision. Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic leaders build concensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future.”

– Daniel Goleman

As an organization develops and grows, both in its programs and its culture, the type of leader that is required changes as well. To recruit a new leader, you first have to identify the strategic goals of the organization and the skills and experience in a leader that would deliver on those goals. This process is one of the most important tasks facing any not-for-profit board.

One of the foundational documents in the recruitment process is the job description. Use this template as a building block to create a job description that encapsulates your organization's mission, future priorities, and desired leadership competencies.
