GROW Plan

Angela, President of TBL Leadership Partners, created the GROW plan to facilitate growth in triple bottom line leadership. Take a look at this tool if you want to get a glimpse into how TBL Leadership Partners helps people along in their leadership journey.

Welcome to the GROW Plan, a simple yet profound way to help you achieve your goals!

• The GROW plan can be used in virtually any context…personally, professionally, academically, financially, organizationally…
• The process is simple, requiring only that you have a desired goal(s) of some kind in mind and a few minutes to establish a plan to help you achieve that goal.
• As you read through each block, simply answer the question contained within that section.  A simple example is listed below for your reference.

Thank you for exploring the GROW Plan!  May you have great success in achieving all of your goals!

EXAMPLE:

G – Goals:  Describe what you would like to achieve

• Learn to speak Chinese

R – Reality:  Describe the current reality/situation

• I know a few simple phrases and words but very little.  The tones and pinyin are very challenging for me.  My ear is not naturally strong in hearing the proper pronunciation.

O – Obstacles:  What might hinder your progress?

• Limited time & remote location (I live far from any Chinese speaking people)

O – Options:  List 3 options for overcoming each obstacle

1. Study 15 minutes per day
2. Study daily using app from my iPhone.
3. Practice monthly with Chinese friends via Skype

W – What’s next?   List specific action steps & timing

1. Download Chinese app onto iPhone
2. Schedule 15 minutes per day into my calendar for study
3. Connect with Chinese friends to help me review my progress and schedule Skype calls accordingly
4. Establish milestones to achieve each quarter and review progress via monthly Skype calls with friends

W – Who?   What additional resource help do you need?

• Native Chinese speaking friends to help coach me
• Accountability to stay on track
