week 5 discation

Are you ready and open for change? As we learn in our readings this week, change in organizations, even outside of them, is inevitable. Moreover, the pace of change is quickening with no signs of slowing. One of our most vital jobs as managers is to help employees embrace change, even in the face of skepticism or concern. To answer the questions this week, you'll need to complete the change assessment beforehand. Be sure you follow the instructions carefully, and identify a change that you have experienced when answering the questions.

Assessment - Your Openness to Change

Instructions:

For your Initial Post (by Wednesday):

1. Reflect on the change - think about an change at work, or a personal one, that you have experienced (for example, a change in process or policy at work, starting college, or moving.) Describe the details of this change, and what made it easy or hard for you.
2. Tie it to the assessment - when thinking about this change during the assessment, which of your results stood out the most - did you feel prepared, did your manager support you? Share an insight that you have gained about how you respond to change and how this might impact you as a manager.

For your Replies (at least two, by Sunday):

Interact with at least two classmates. Share an experience with them. Or, provide advice that might help them handle change more effectively in the future. You can also use the guidelines from the course syllabus to add, assist, bring up another point of view, or create a new topic.

Posts and replies should be complete thoughts, add value, and be written using College English. They should also contain examples and/or reference to the text/lecture where appropriate. Be sure to check back regularly and answer any questions posed to you. See the course syllabus for the quantity requirements and for more details. You won't have access to others' posts until you post in the forum.

AI Use: Not permitted. I expect thoughts and writing to be solely yours. Content and format of a post/reply that resembles AI will result in a zero-pause in grading, and require a meeting with me.

The course and college academic integrity policies apply to all submissions. I expect the work submitted here to be your own, and not that of other sources such as the text, internet, homework sites, artificial intelligence, or other individuals. When you adhere to the academic integrity policies, you ensure that your achievements are a true representation of your skills and abilities. Hard work now helps ensure your future success. I look forward to reviewing your work and providing helpful feedback!
