RBLP Community of Practice

The RBLP Community of Practice is defined by our shared understanding of leadership fundamentals and a mutual interest in building and leading resilient teams. Resilient teams are the backbone of a resilient organization.

Getting the work done can be hard in any organization. We know that resilient teams thrive in challenging environments because they can overcome adversity, adapt, and grow together.

We also know that leaders build resilient teams by creating a positive climate, developing cohesion, and providing purpose. Building resilient teams makes problem-solving, improvement, innovation, and change possible.

As leaders, we have a growth mindset, and we know that knowledge, skills, and abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication. We are self-directed, lifelong learners who take initiative and accept responsibility for our own learning.

We know that being “brilliant at the basics” of leadership is essential for frontline, experienced, and senior managers working in all types of organizations.

7. Create a Professional Development Plan.

A professional development plan (PDP) is essential for all professionals as it provides clear direction, enhances motivation, and supports long-term success. By outlining specific goals and actionable steps, it helps people stay focused and aligned with their career aspirations. A PDP fosters self-awareness, allowing individuals to identify strengths and areas for improvement, which boosts confidence and prepares them for new challenges.

Continuing to develop leadership skills is a crucial aspect of a PDP. Strong leadership skills enhance decision-making, communication, and the ability to inspire and influence others, making professionals more effective in their roles. Additionally, leadership development opens doors to advanced career opportunities and ensures individuals are well-prepared to take on greater responsibilities.
