Discussion 1:
"Creating A Guiding Coalition"
Please respond to one (1) of the following:
Read the article titled "Leading Change in Libraries: A Case Study". Reflect on your academic career thus far. The decision to continue your formal education was a change that you implemented in your personal life. Whom did you place on your list as a guiding coalition and why? (Note: You do not have to list individual names. Substitute names for titles or positions are advised.)
Discussion 2
It is important to build a guiding coalition for your change. Review the article titled "Creating Cultural Change in a 115-Year-Old R&D Organization". How did the organization create a guiding coalition? Think about the change you are developing in your extended project. How will you create a guiding coalition? Who will you need to engage to ensure the change is successful? Why is it important for you to make them a part of your guiding coalition?
