Scenario
For Homework, you gave a presentation for upper management on strategies for approaching change in teams and groups.

She lets you know that for the next several weeks you will be back on her individual staff development initiative. For starters, she wants you to draft a staff development plan that can help train more change leaders to make the kinds of contributions you have been making lately!
Your Role
