Consider a common behavioral challenge in your organization (can be workplace or home). If you could change one aspect within your organization to make it more successful, make your life better, or make the organization work better, what would it be? Be detailed in describing the current situation in your organization-what are the facts? Please DO NOT present solutions at this time. If you do, you will start to bias the solution with your existing mentality (like creating a box that limits your growth in wisdom). Consider multiple perspectives from various stakeholders. You can also obtain the "big" challenge from your management as well.
There is no word limit on this assignment, keep it short and simple. Make it meaningful. In other words, consider that the peers in your organization would also want to change this situation. This will set you up for your final Organizational Analysis and Design: resolving organizational issues through contextual design and providing a specific focus of knowledge application through this leadership ethics class.
