1. Assessment 1 Instructions: Future of Organizing
Write an analysis of Margaret Wheatley’s theories and perspectives on leadership and
organizations. There are no page number requirements for this assessment.IntroductionAn
analysis of someone else’s perspective on the application of the theories of leadership
allows you to compare and contrast them against your own work experience and gives you
a broader context with which to consider best practices you might want to implement in
your own career.The resources for this assessment examine the new science of leadership
as well as the use of personal, purpose, and change mastery. These resources can help you
become familiar with why a sense of purpose gives meaning to and helps release the energy
of an authentic and congruent leader. Out of a sense of purpose, leaders develop the courage
to put language around their vision.The suggested readings also address how a leader
adapts to change and why noticing resistance to change helps a leader examine ineffective
old patterns. In order to lead others through change, leaders must trust themselves to think
simultaneously in the present and in the future. This requires the ability to adapt and deal
with ambiguity and anxiety in the midst of unfolding reality.PreparationThe following
