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.
