Prompt
1. Read the article, 10 Reasons Why Teams Need Emotional Intelligence. As you review this article, consider Lussier’s argument that teams are capable of more than individuals working alone. Do you think this is always true or only true of high-functioning teams? What characteristics set high-performing teams apart? What role does Emotional Intelligence play in the development of high-performing teams?
2. Organizations must make frequent changes in order to keep pace with industry trends. Despite being common, organizational change is often met with resistance. Explain why people tend to resist change and what leaders can do to help overcome resistance to change. Explain the difference between organizational culture and organizational climate. What is the relationship between organizational culture, climate, and change?
3. Managing diversity is not about tolerating the differences as it is trying to understand the importance that diversity holds for success of an organization (Lussier, 2022). Reflect on the video, How to get serious about diversity and inclusion in the workplace. What is the difference between diversity and inclusion? What does it mean to value diversity and why is it important in organizations? Consider the point Janet Stovall makes about the fact that diversity can be mandated, but inclusion must be cultivated (TED, 2018). How would you relate the point she is making to our readings about teamwork, organizational change, and valuing diversity?Prompt
