Be sure that you have answered the entire question!

Initial Post

This posting should answer the requirements using the course material from week 1 (not external source material) to support the ideas presented. If you are uncertain as to how to support the ideas presented, go to Content and view the module, Learn How to Support What You Write.

It is important to write concisely, provide the chapter title, chapter heading, page, or paragraph number. Include in-text citations and a reference in a reference list. To see how to cite the eBook, go to Content and view the module, Learn to Use APA. The citation and reference information is on the right-side of the screen.

For Discussion

  • In the course reading this week there was a focus on ‘noise’ preventing effective communication. Explain the different types of noise introduced and provide workplace scenarios describing situation where the noise could exist.
  • Explain why change is hard for your employees.
  • Describe how a Change Agent can help an organization navigate through difficulties.

Instructions for Responses to Classmates’ Posts

After you have created your initial post, look over the discussion posts of your classmates and give at least two responses to different classmates (one per classmate) as outlined in the Discussion Grading Rubric.

A response posting should be a minimum of one short paragraph. Word totals for these posts should be in the 75–100-word range. The goal of your response posts is to extend discussions already taking place or pose new possibilities or ideas not previously voiced. Your goal should be to motivate the group discussion and present a creative approach to the topic. Do not merely agree or disagree, repeating what a classmate stated or what you have already stated. Explain the ‘why or how’ with supporting evidence and concepts from the course material. Include in-text citations and associated reference within a reference list.

This week the discussion of leading continues. In making decisions, managers must communicate. Leaders need to be skilled communicators as they build relationships within the organization at all levels and outside the organization with various stakeholders such as local communities. In today’s global business environment, leaders must be able to communicate on a global scale.

Theme 1: The manager must be able to make decisions, solve problems, communicate, motivate employees, and lead teams toward the completion of tasks. This is often done as part of the leading function. This week students learn about leading and communication.

Theme 2: We are working in an environment where constant change has become the norm in business.

Change is the natural process any organization will go through in today’s fast moving marketplace. The world as we know it is constantly undergoing change but so is technology, customer trends, world affairs, and the economy. The organization that is not willing to adapt to this ever-changing business climate and embrace frequent change will be left like the dinosaurs; extinct. When it is time for your organization to make a change you will need to have people in place that can help not just the organization navigate through the complexities, but also to help the personnel understand the need for change and embrace the challenges that may lie ahead during the process. This person will be your Change Agent, and they will be a critical component.

We discovered the need for change and having good personnel in place to help navigate the challenges during change this week; but that ability to help others navigate change stems from developing strong communication skills.
