Question A
Think
of a change you would like to make in your life. Using Figure 18.1 as a guide,
prepare your own force field analysis for that change. How will you overcome
the forces for the status quo? How will you make sure to “refreeze” following
the change? Summarize your analysis in an action plan.
Make time for new hobbies – learn/start making wood furniture in
spare time between college and work.
Question B
Review
and reflect on what you learned in the past 8 weeks. What is the most practical
and easily applied lesson you learned?
In my new job I work virtually but with a team of others who do
the same job as I do. This section of this course helped me understand the components
that go into work groups. After reading the text with “group” included in the
title, find concepts to talk about how it is beneficial and practical for me to
apply in real life.
What was the hardest to
grasp? Why?
The Five Structural Configurations & Mintzberg’s Five
Basic Parts of an Organization
Based on the text, explain why some concepts could be hard
to grasp as someone who has never been in management and has only four years of
real work experience.
