I have been asked to develop a personal strategic plan. "Strategic"
here means a ten-year horizon. My personal strategic plan has to
address the five elements of Mission Determination, Environmental
Assessment, Objective Setting, Strategy Setting, and Implementation.
Is there a template out there for this?

Dear loggie-ga,

Good day!

Coming straight to the point, here are a few resources that might
prove helpful to you in your exercise...

====
An excellent factasheet on strategic planning is available at ths
Canadian Ministry of Agriculture and Food site:
http://www.gov.on.ca/OMAFRA/english/rural/facts/89-173.htm#Stage%201:%20Mission%20Statement

While this factsheet has focused on organizations, the author claims
that the same process can be applied to business or personal strategic
planning.

A grading sheet, developed by Prof. K. V. Harrington of Radford
University, can act as a good check to see if you have developed an
effective personal strategic plan:
