there are three components to a decision frame:
• Purpose- what you hope to accomplish by making the decision;
• Scope- what to include and exclude in the decision; and
• Perspective- your point of view about the decision, the ways you want to approach, or others may approach making the decision. Framing is like the zoom feature of the camera. What we include in the picture is the scope of the decision it, the angle for the best lighting and view is the perspective and what kind of picture we want, an action or landscape shot, is the purpose.
How to Frame a Decision
Begin by Asking and Answering the Following Questions:
• Make your Decision Statement (last week)
• Determine if the Decision is part of a bigger decision that should be addressed now.
• Determine whether you are covering too much ground with your decision if so reexamine the decision statement and make adjustments
• Ask why is this decision difficult to make? What factors are involved that make it difficult?
• Are you taking anything for a given? (e.g. are you depending on someone to react in a certain way?)
• Whose choice is it? Is the decision yours alone to make? Is there a customer, business, supplier, protester that needs to be involved to make it feel right?
• Is there anything that would keep you from acting if you saw the answer clearly? (e.g. a risk of the business closing if that option was the clear choice)
• How would someone you trust frame this decision?
Traps to Avoid:
• Jumping into the decision without framing the “picture”.
• Being limited by fears, peer pressure etc.
• Framing the problem too narrowly to bring it into your comfort zone or too broadly to make it difficult to address
• Making wrong assumptions-taking things as given that aren’t so or are not known for sure
This Week Begin to Build the Decision-Clarifying Values
Begin by Asking and Answering the Following Questions:
• What do I (company) really want out of this decision? What are my or the company’s objectives in making the decision?
• Is there any one value I am willing to give up to get more of another value? For instance, would I give up salary for the position or how it contributes to the community?
• How do the my (company) overall goals apply to this situation? For instance, the business wants to keep making money, how does this relate to the protestors?
• Can I explain why I am giving up one value for the other if the alternatives require that I do so?
• Do the values I choose to exchange take into account the people who are most affected by the decision?
• Are the values I am expressing consistent with my ethics or those of the company

Body (2-4 paragraphs)

2. Does the current training reduce sexual assault? (no but it encourages victims to report more(show statistic from 2017))
3. Supporting evidence that supports topic and thesis.
4. How do we end sexual violence in the military? (you cant end it, but you can reduce it as long as more victims start to report and the assailants start to be held accountable for their crimes instead of sweeping it under the rug)

 Reasons people don’t report: retaliation/repercussions (discharged from military with dishonorable discharge if they report)

• Explain how SHARP training (current training) encouraged the increase of reports of assaults
• Conclusion (1-2 paragraphs)

1. summarize main point
2. Make a strong memorable final statement

One of the seminal studies and theories related to change management is Kurt Lewin’s Change Management Model. Components of his work are identified in many other theories, so understanding this theory offers insight into the change management process.

In this assignment, provide a brief overview of Lewin’s Change Management Model, including his rationale for creating this theory and the intended role this model would address in change management. Then discuss the three stages of change implementation and explain the importance of each stage. Be sure to use the terminology for each stage of Lewin’s model as outlined in the text.

Finally, Lewin’s theory was created in the 1940s. How would you modify/alter his theory to ensure that it remains relevant and applicable within KSA? Discuss any changes to be made to his theory to reflect today’s business environment, both globally and within KSA.

For the first 3-4-page paper, I’d like you to research the critical reception of a film and provide your own analysis of the movie.  As our text states, the purpose of a good critical essay is “not so much to convince . . . readers to like or dislike the film but to add to their understanding of it.”  A good way to organize the paper is to begin by placing the film in the context of other critical reviews (what have critics been saying about the movie?) and then narrow down your focus and state your own interpretive thesis.

 

As our book further states, “the focus of the [critical] essay is far more specific than that of a review, since the writer hopes to reveal subtleties or complexities that may have escaped viewers on the first or even second viewing.”  Don’t try to write about everything.  Decide what aspect of the film you want to focus on (an ideology, a theme, a character, a relationship, an element of the film’s visual style, the camera movement, etc.) and then formulate a debatable interpretation that displays your independent thought.

 

Assume your audience knows the film; thus, a lengthy summary is unnecessary.  You only need to provide specific, concrete evidence from the film that supports your claims and analysis.

 

Incorporate a minimum of three reviews into your essay, but please read more than three reviews to get a solid understanding of the film’s critical reception.  The following location is a good place to find movie reviews:

 

www.imdb.com

 

After you type in the name of a movie at IMDB, click the link that says “More” above the title, then click “External Reviews.”  It should take you to a lengthy list of reviews.  You will find more reviews if you choose a film released in the internet era.  Some reviews, of course, will be better than others.  Use reviews from fairly established sources, such as The Washington Post, The Village Voice, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, etc.

Synthesize the topics of leadership and teams by crafting an essay in which, using supporting materials, you assess the theory and practice of leadership as it relates to teams.
