My ISTJ nature shows that I am internally focused. In order to improve my interpersonal skills by developing the aforementioned traits, I will need to shift my focus to the external world. I will need to actively consider the view points of my co-workers rather than imposing my own ideas on them (Thompson, 2006).
There are a few different options to me for developing these skills in the next 180 days. I can focus on the functional aspects of these skills. This would be easy to learn because I could utilize my abilities in vision development and planning to keep these skills at the forefront of my mind. The skills could then be learned by treating them as any other technical skill. Another option would place the learning emphasis on the underlying attitude of selflessness and focus on others. As the attitude develops, the functional skills will naturally flow from that. A third option would recognize that the attitude shift may come slowly on its own and should therefore be combined with an emphasis on the outward skills manifestations. The plan I have determined to be the best is the latter, and is based on the fundamental interpersonal skill building strategy outlined in the seminal work by Goldsmith and McFall (1975) involving analyzing effective responses to difficult situations, deriving underlying principles of behavior and developing scoring criteria for self-evaluation.
Over the next thirty days I will undertake a few tasks in order to build my interpersonal skills. I will make adjustments to my social activities, away from internally-focused ones to ones that involve a high degree of interpersonal interaction. I will write down and review daily the basic interpersonal skills I need to exercise, so that I can be mindful of them when I interact with others. I will work on the philosophy of selflessness by building my knowledge of the concept -- reading texts from academics, Buddhists, and others devoted to selflessness.
This will continue into the sixty day period as well. By this point, I will have the theoretical background from my readings and will be able to place more emphasis on practical application of the concepts. I will begin to perform self-evaluations of my progress at building interpersonal skills. At this point, I will begin to attempt to solve problems...
Particular institutions that I will target include: Peachford Hospital, the Atlanta Recovery Center, Mountainside Addiction Treatment Center, and St. Jude's Recovery Center. I expect to do at least three longer phone interviews and one face-to-face interview or shadowing day with a professional in my area. This process will unfold over the next three to six months. I have recently renewed my membership with the American College of Healthcare Executives

Introduction My personal leadership development plan is based my intention to use transformational leadership theory to promote healthcare-eldercare advocacy in my organizational behavior. As Shanks and Buchbinder (2012) show, “leadership development includes both formal and informal efforts” (p. 279).

Transformation of a group to one with unified values and a shared sense of accomplishment requires better people skills than I currently possess (Bass & Riggio 2006). These weaknesses, of course, will present certain obstacles that must be overcome during my leadership development. The drive to accommodate can denote a general desire to subsume one's will for someone else's purposes or ends, and this could limit my potential for development
