UNDP staff at multiple levels by improving the way you lead,
innovate, manage, communicate and deliver on a daily basis.

People Management, Communication, Delivery) Leadership Development

Your Development Pathway
Start off the experience by increasing your self-awareness
through the gift of feedback and make your development meaningful
and customized to your needs. A 360 Feedback assessment and a DiSC
Personality assessment are at your disposal to help you formulate
your individual development plan together with your supervisor and
HR Manager. This development plan will be your guide throughout
your development journey, customized in terms of intensity and
curricula to meet your specific development needs. To help you
create sustainable leadership habits through daily practice you
will be surrounded by an ecosystem of support. This includes
bi-weekly meetings with your supervisor, coaching, mentoring and an
online community for peer exchange. During the experience you will
start each of the competency-based learning journeys in the
Structured Learning through the online leadership courses. When
this is finished you move into the workplace learning where you
form teams to collaboratively ideate and develop prototypes to
solve real UNDP business challenges. These prototypes will be
presented and shared on an online platform in a competitive
fashion- offering you an opportunity to contribute directly to UNDP
global innovation while getting exposure to the entire
organization. Upon completion of the Leadership Development Pathway
you will conduct a post-assessment allowing you to capture the
impact of your development in concrete terms. Completion also
qualifies you for attendance in the Global UNDP Leadership
Festival.
