...approach to managing change. Identify five types of change. Exhibit a change readiness mind-set. Describe the six change management competencies. Create a performance improvement plan. Change in business, as in life, is inevitable, and the amount, pace, and complexity of change are accelerating at an ever-increasing rate. Thus, whether it is called reengineering, culture change, global execution, or mergers and acquisitions, there is more organizational change to contend with than ever before. Change also impacts our personal lives. We change jobs; our children leave home; and sometimes we move across the country. Thus, the period in which we are living is one in which change is the norm. What does this mean for you? Today, the responsibility for managing change is part of your job description. In fact, everyone in a leadership role must take on the challenge of helping his or her organization change in a way that ensures its future viability and competitiveness. More than anything else, managers who successfully play the role of change agent realize they can no longer approach change in the oldfashioned way, assuming that someone else will take responsibility for managing change. Kevin is an example of how today’s managers need to think about their change leadership role. He is a supervisor in a small manufacturing plant. His comments illustrate why leaders at all levels need to be good change managers: “As change unfolds, you find there is less time to react...

...Everyone with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day. A patience must inject the insulin under the skin. Insulin types differ in how fast they start to work and how long they last. The health care provider will choose the best type of insulin for you and will tell you at what time of day to use it. More than one type of insulin may be mixed together in an injection to get the best blood glucose control. You may need insulin shots from one to four times a day. People with diabetes need to know how to adjust the amount of insulin they are takingWhen they exercise, when they are sick, when they are traveling DIET AND EXERCISE People with type 1 diabetes should eat at about the same times each day and try to eat the same kinds of foods, diabetes diet and snacking when you have diabetes. This helps to prevent blood sugar from becoming too high or low. Regular exercise helps control the amount of sugar in the blood. It also helps burn extra calories and fat to reach a healthy weight. Ask your health care provider before starting any exercise program. People with type 1 diabetes must take special steps before, during, and after intense physical activity or exercise.

...as a leading health risk of the 21st century and as a serious hazard in the workplace. Disabling stress has doubled over the past six years in the United States, with 1 million people absent from work every day due to stress-related problems. Companies annually spend an average of $7,500 per employee due to stress, and 75 percent to 80 percent of workplace accidents are stress-related ("Managing Employee Stress," 2002, para. 1-2). PMR is cost effective. It can be performed by employees with no cost to the organization, time wise or financially. This technique does not require special equipment, and can be performed using a chair or the floor. PMR can be achieved during the workday during a scheduled break or lunch period. It does not require employees to travel from the work site. Our office has several conference rooms and training areas that are comfortable and free of distractions that will facilitate the focus and concentration needed for this technique. The employee can adjust the lighting and temperature to create an atmosphere of calmness. Employees may also perform the exercises at their desk or in their offices. PMR involves systematically contracting and relaxing the different muscle groups in your body. The most standard pattern is to begin with the feet and work your way up your body,...

...PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY: TEAM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND THREATS TO PRODUCTIVITY OVERVIEW This chapter is best discussed following a team exercise or case so that students have an opportunity to reflect on the success of the team. One suggestion is to ask each student to write down a method by which to assess team productivity. The students’ different responses can lead to a discussion of performance measures. Then, the instructor can ask what conditions need to be in place for teams to excel on the performance measures identified by the class. Finally, the instructor can move toward a discussion of how to design teamwork so that threats to performance are minimized. To the extent that students and the instructor can link these concepts to real experiences—a class exercise, a case discussion, or individual student analysis— the concepts will become clearer. lecture outline with Accompanying slides integrated model of successful team performance (EXHIBIT 2-1) 1 Model serves two purposes 1 Description—what to expect in terms of team performance 2 Prescription—ways to improve the functioning of teams 2 Model asserts that team context affects team’s ability to do three essential things 1 Perform effectively 2 Build and sustain motivation 3 Coordinate people [pic] [pic] team context 1 It includes the larger organizational setting within which a team does its work, the design of a team in terms of internal functioning...

...diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. As part of this exercise, the author was to maintain a record of exercise, food, and a regular blood sugar monitoring regime on daily basis. This reflection seeks to highlight the impact, experience and changes that occurred in the author's 'lived lifestyle of a patient with type II diabetes' and will include reference to current literature, research, theories and best practice. The author would explain the changes that occurred in her life and how experiencing type two diabetes has helped her to understand the challenges patients undergo in relation to their daily routine of monitoring their blood sugar levels. The author will explain how her 'lived experience' would help her understand and provide the necessary support for people with diabetes in the future. BACKGROUND INFORMATION I am a female non-smoker of African descent. I am married with two children aged 13 and 21. My thirteen-year old daughter currently lives with me in New Zealand. I am of an average height of about 163cm and weigh 80kg which signifies an unhealthy BMI of 30.1 (Health Information for New Zealanders, (n.d.)

...warning signs or symptoms associated with high blood pressure. Unfortunately, it is a life time disease once it occurs. Hypertension has multiple risk factors associated with it; middle age men have a higher risk than women, a family history of hypertension, being overweight, not being physically active, tobacco and alcohol use increases ones risk, as well as high levels of stress (Matteucci, Caple, & Pravikoff, 2011). Larry Garcia, a 45 year old Hispanic male, was recently diagnosed with hypertension during a physical exam for work. His risk factors include; being slightly overweight, does not exercise regularly, and his mother has hypertension that is not medically controlled. Larry is married and has four children. He supports his elderly mother and father financially, and his wife provides transportation to appointments and shopping for them. Larry has a high pressure position as a sales representative, which has been his career for 10 years. Larry has an associate’s degree in business, and has thought of returning to school for his bachelors, but his family obligations keep him from pursuing this. Larry states that his preferred method of learning is to read the material himself, but if he finds the information invaluable, he will not read it. When he was diagnosed with hypertension, he was not educated about the importance of managing it, information regarding diet and exercise, and stress reduction strategies. As Larry is 45, he is considered middle age. Medical issues...

...Running head: ORGANIZATIONAL TRENDS DISCUSSION Organizational Trends Discussion Team B University of Phoenix Organizational Behavior and Group Dynamics MGT/307 Jack Land October 13, 2011 Organizational Trends Discussion High performance organizations are known as successful businesses. In order for them to be successful, they need to have a strong management to gain that success. The work environment can be a very stressful place to work in, but it can also be very rewarding if managed properly. This paper discusses the characteristics of a high performance organization and stress management techniques. High performance workplaces and organizations are entities that have developed and maintained certain successful processes that allow them to foster employees' commitment/dedication, service their customers effectively, and remain competitive. Examples of those processes are: the organization's culture (When an organization's culture is well defined, employees are more likely to understand it and want to be part of it), the high level of commitment of the employees (with organizational commitment, employees express dedication to the company because they feel a sense of belonging and a sense of duty towards that company), client centeredness (customers are the main reason companies are able to exist. Therefore, when client centeredness takes center stage, the result is complete customer satisfaction, cultural diversity (embrace cultural diversity...
