Steps to complete:
I. Step I: Begin to understand how you manage change by thinking of a recent or past change and how you dealt with it. Complete the Webtext Exercises [DOCX] before attempting the homework.
II. Step II: Use the information from your webtext exercises to write your ideal personal philosophy of change overview.
Include the following sections:
i. Reacting to Change.
ii. Framing Change.
iii. Managing Change.
Each section should be 1-2 paragraphs long and must be supported by at least one source of your choice, for a minimum of three sources total. You must also detail why you chose the source and its relevance to the information you have included in your overview.
Some examples of resources include a work of art, quotations, an online article or written work with an identifiable author, and the philosophy of another person, group, or organization. Feel free to explore different resources, but ask your instructor if you have any questions.
III. Step III: One way to keep your strategies for problem solving on your mind is to keep reminders around you in daily life. For this step, use your philosophy of change overview to create a visual component you can refer to every day. The ideal format is a final version that could fit on a single framed piece of paper or picture that could be posted somewhere you will see it every day (think office wall, desk at work, the bathroom mirror, or the refrigerator). This component can include inspirational phrases, images, or whatever elements you choose to include to reinforce your philosophy of change.
