SUBJ:  UPDATE OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK AND
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) FORM
A. Coast Guard Individual Development Plan (IDP), COMDTINST 5357.1A
B. Individual Development Plan form CG-5357
C. Executive Development Plan form CG-5357A
D. Individual Development Plan form CG-6021
1. This ACN announces an update to REFs (A), (B), and (C).
2. REF (D) is cancelled.
3. REF (A) is updated to incorporate the new Individual Development Plan (IDP),
and new Executive Development Plan (EDP) forms. Over the past 2 years the Office
of Leadership (CG-128), in conjunction with the Leadership Development Center,
conducted surveys and focus groups to enhance and streamline the IDP process
and forms. The result has yielded a 2-page IDP form, for use by CG service
members and civilian employees to capture individual personal and professional
development. The form was reduced from the 19-page form to 2 pages.
4. REF (A) provides goals and responsibilities for effectively employing
the Individual Development Plan (IDP) and Executive Development Plan (EDP).
IDPs are mandatory for first term enlisted members and junior officers, both
active duty and reservists, assigned to a permanent duty station. IDPs are
optional, but highly encouraged, for mid-grade officers and civilian employees.
5. CG flag officers and Senior Executive Service (SES) are required to complete
an annual EDP under the DHS Leadership Development Program (LDP). REF (C),
the EDP form, is aligned with Department of Homeland Security annual completion
requirements, and will assist in developing our executives both personally
and professionally.
6. No paper distribution will be made of REFs (B) or (C), but both forms are
available on the CGPortal at:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/sites/externaldata/Forms/CG_5357.PDF, and
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/sites/externaldata/Forms/CG_5357A.PDF. Both forms
are also available on the internet at:
https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/forms/smdsearch4081/5357/
