Create a plan for a current team or club objective.

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”Paul J. Meyer

Dialogue—explain, question, clarify

Share your plan with one of your new networking acquaintances, and note clearly how your objective supports the bigger picture of your club or the Leadership Development Institute.

“IF YOU DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU’RE GOING, HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET THERE?”

― Steve Maraboli

What to consider?

Planning• The process of setting

goals, developing strategies, and outlining tasks and schedules to accomplish goals.

Strategic Planning• Envisioning a desired

future, and translating this vision into broadly defined goals or objectives and a sequence of steps to achieve them.

Instead of looking forward at what you need to accomplish this week, the week after and so on, start with the target in mind and work backwards, dividing it into smaller goals.

Steven Covey calls this “beginning with the end in mind” . . .

VisionThe Leadership Development Institute (LDI) at AUI in Ifrane, seeks to be a model student leadership development program for Morocco and the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.

The LDI seeks to graduate students with the leadership skills and values needed to lead highly effective economic and social development programs.

The LDI seeks to be exemplary in all that it does. It seeks to develop and maintain high credibility and legitimacy, and high standards of performance in its programs and for its students, staff and faculty.

I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through - then follow through.

--Edward Rickenbacker
