Abstract	This practicum paper sets out a leadership development action plan (LDAP) at Mount Vernon Nazarene College (MVNC) in Ohio intended to help the director of retention and academic services in efforts to improve preparedness and readiness levels of prospective students at the school, a church-related coeducational college of arts and science. The plan was developed to address complaints of student deficiencies in reading, writing, and mathematics skills, scientific knowledge, classical literature background, commitment to out-of-class study, and general study skills such as notetaking and time management. Key points of the LDAP included: (1) challenging the process; (2) inspiring a shared vision; (3) enabling others to act; (4) modeling the way; and (5) encouraging the heart. Emphasis was also on raising academic expectation levels of prospective students and improving retention by encouraging high school students to enroll in proper high school college preparatory courses. Individual sections of the report consider: the project' background, the process of plan development, the literature review, methodology and procedures, results, and evaluation. Appendixes include a list of suggested components for a leadership development action plan; a sample inquiry letter; a list of validators; a list of suggested plan revisions; and the final leadership development action plan.
