For these discussions, evaluate and identify appropriate remedies based on business strategy. Develop skills to address significant organizational change through organizational communication and implementation. Reflect on the readings and videos to answer 1 of 4 discussion questions, you should look to outside resources and cite your book. 1. Clearly identifiable development phases occur in groups of five to twelve individuals convened for a specific purpose and whose membership remains stable for at least twelve hours of meeting time. Based on the reading for this week, what is the rationale for such limiting conditions? Explain whether the developmental processes can be recycled if a non-member visits the group. 2. In developing work groups, leaders emerge to carry crucial roles in the evolution of structure. Each leader performs characteristic functions throughout the life of the work group, particularly making explicit the phase-specific group issues requiring group resolution. Discuss the four types of emergent group leadership roles. Reflect back on your experience being in a group, where you served as a leader (planned or voluntary). Which emergent group leadership role best suits this scenario. 3. Beginning as a collection of individuals, a group passes through nine developmental phases. Each phase is characterized by issues or problems that are seen as important by the whole group. Compare and contrast two developmental phases of Group work. Discuss each human emotional conflict and their related coping mechanisms. In other words, how does their issues, leadership activities and phase completion differ. 4. We are faced today with increasing pace of change. Very little is sustainable over the long term, and times even the short term. Some change conditions are beyond our control. We also know that how we respond is not! We live in a world of continuous change. In the reading this week, it suggests five rules of thumb for sustainable change consulting. Create sustainable plans outing how your client can build capacity to deal with constant change. (Hint, use one of the rules discussed in this weeks reading and give suggestions on how to help your client in this scenario).
