Useful things to think about in determining the competencies to develop:

 What skills, knowledge, and abilities will provide the greatest short-term and long-term
results toward your goals?
 How might you adjust your current role and responsibilities to practice the competencies that
you have identified as development priorities?
 Make sure your expectations for your current job and level are clear so that you can set the
bar at the appropriate level for development activities.
