VIEWS OF CHANGE

VIEW BELIEFS ABOUT CHANGE

INTENTIONAL Most situations can be analyzed and problems can be anticipated. We can manage them with a clear plan.

EMERGENT We can’t predict every challenge that will come our way. We can be prepared and navigate the problems as we go.

REACTIVE Surprises happen, and plans often have unintended consequences. We can have good situational awareness and respond to whatever unfolds.

YOU ARE A LEADER

• You are already leading by example

– Everything you do shows others what is

important to you.

• You are already a mentor and role model.

– By stepping up, you have become someone

that others look up to as an example, no matter

your age or experience.

• You already have all the power you need.

– You can guide and influence others.
