chapter 1 – SELF-EVALUATION: What about You?
Analyze your perceptions of change
Everyone perceives change differently. Think of a change situation you are currently experiencing. It can be any business, school-related, or personal experience that requires a significant change in your attitude or behavior. Rate your feelings about this change using the following scales. For instance, if you feel the change is more of a threat than an opportunity, you would circle 0, 2, or 4 on the first scale.
- Threat 0 2 4 6 8 10 Opportunity
- Holding on to the past 0 2 4 6 8 10 Reaching for the
future
- Immobilized 0 2 4 6 8 10 Activated
- Rigid 0 2 4 6 8 10 Versatile
- A loss 0 2 4 6 8 10 A gain
- Victim of change 0 2 4 6 8 10 Agent of change
- Reactive 0 2 4 6 8 10 Proactive
- Focused on the past 0 2 4 6 8 10 Focused on the future
