Here are a couple of learning plan scenarios for inspiration.
Scenario 1
Short on time and staff
Luis has limited time because his team is short staffed. He needs support with some of the challenges he is facing. He starts with the "Make Time for What Matters Most" and "Manage Change" electives, and he identifies some new strategies to experiment with. He plans to attend Leadership Foundations when his availability opens in a few months.
