UCLA Business and Organization Leadership Questions

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Journal Entry for Class 7 (200 words each question):

1. We all go through change. Think about a big change you wanted to / had to make (only use something you are comfortable talking about). In your journal, share the story of what happened and use the readings for this Class on leading change to help describe how successful (or not) the change was.
2. Throughout the quarter, we have discussed authoritative/visionary leadership and discussed many inspirational leaders of organizations. What does the article “Collective Genius” argue is the job of the leader? How does this change your idea of leadership?

2. Case: “Ross Atkins and the 50:50 Project at the BBC” (reader)
