VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) completed the 2010 edition of the Naval Leader Planning Guide (NLPG) and the Naval Leader Weekly Planner (NLWP).

Both planners are now available online, and commands can download the portable document format (PDF) version, free-of-charge from Navy Knowledge Online.

"CPPD is pleased to bring back the Naval Leader Weekly Planner for 2010, a decision we made based on the positive feedback we've received from our customers, the Sailors. We are also pleased to provide multiple products with important dates every naval leader should know, as well as a host of other resources that will help in your day-to-day activities," said Capt. Jon Picker, CPPD's commanding officer.

"The NLPG's course listings and planning worksheets can help Sailors plan and organize their professional development opportunities, which is why I hope everyone will take the time to review and make use of this beneficial tool," said Picker.

The NLPG brings together myriad of information that is compact and portable. This year's edition includes a 15-month calendar (January 2010 to March 2011), a complete list of CPPD courses and services, Navy and Marine Corps Selection Board and Fitness Report/Evaluation schedules, and the Navy and Marine Corps Professional Reading Program lists.

The weekly version of this product contains a 13-month calendar, but all other sections contain the same resources as the standard guide, including the personal and professional development section. These sections include steps in the planning process, goal development assistance, planning worksheets, and a mentoring compass.

To download the 2010 NLPG, log on to www.nko.navy.mil and select the Leadership link. The guide can be downloaded as either a PDF file for printing or as an Excel file, which can be imported into Microsoft Outlook. Commands are also authorized to use the source files to arrange for printing at their local printing facilities.
