5 Year Plan

In life, goals with time frames are important to set in order to achieve them. When looking at the place I want to be in five years, there are things that must be in place first. But with determination I will achieve these goals so that I can set new goals. The first thing I intend to accomplish to help with my five -year plan is to complete my MBA. This process has already begun by me attending Ashford University to obtain my MBA with a specialization in Project Management. Once I complete graduate school, I will have expanded my knowledge in management to further my career. Although I feel I have good leadership skills now, the goal is to always be expanding and building those skills. Currently, I am the Director of Information Services and have engineers that work under me. In five years I want to have gained the knowledge in order to take over the company. Already the current president has stated that she plans to step down from the day-to-day management of the company. I have always pictured myself to be leading a company. So my intentions are to grow this company and move up in management so I am prepared to take over when the president retires or decides to step down. Growing and expanding the information technology (IT) company to larger cities in North Carolina is another part of my five-year plan. In five years I want to have grown the company enough to where I have doubled my team and have a management level between the engineers and myself. This will allow me to put more focus on growing the company. There are only two other companies located in the same city that we consider competitors. The company I work for has been the number three IT company in the area for the last three years. I want to offer the superior customer service as well as the best IT services available. Once we have grown in our current city to the point we are the number one IT company, my plan is to expand to surrounding large cities and become the number one IT
