In his TED talk, Peter Doolittle aims to inform the audience on the topic of working memory. As a speaker, Doolittle caters his speech to his audience which is illustrated by the organization of the speech and by the relation of the topic to the audience. For instance, Doolittle humorously opens his speech with an anecdote to introduce the topic of working memory. The choice to make the humorous remark regarding a person’s walking speed, “well that wasn’t fast enough for me,” immediately allows the audience to relate to the speaker’s reaction.…
Leading a Continuously Changing Organization “Leaders attract internally motivated people, inspire them with a mission, and initiate new ways of thinking (Keller, 1995). The result is new influence on the culture of the organization. Great leaders are willing to challenge the status quo while trusting and empowering their people. Not only do leaders use obstacles to create a positive future, they are willing to set an example of sacrifice for the good of the next generation”. (Banutu-Gomez, M. B. & Banutu-Gomez S. M. T., 2007).…

The technology changes. The team changes. The team members change. The problem isn't change, per se, because change is going to happen; the problem, rather, is the inability to cope with change when it comes. “.…
In Bryan Stevenson’s Ted talk he addresses the issues and injustices in the criminal justice system. The first main point that Stevenson makes is that there is a large degree of disconnect between what happens in the criminal justice system and communities of poverty, and what happens in those of affluent or middle class wealth. He illustrates that the train of thought is often, “that’s not our burden” when concerning issues of mass incarceration and poverty. He explains that we must be engaged with the issues of the poor and the suffering to fully evolve as a civilization. This disconnect is made clear when Stevenson compares the attitude of Germany to that of the United States on the topic of the death penalty.…

For some employees, change in the workplace may cause them stress and lead them to become resistant to change. Leaders of an organization can help employees adapt to new situations by fully communicating changes made, respecting their thoughts and feelings, and providing an adequate amount of time for them to adjust to changes made.…
Good skills in communicating change contribute to the process and outcome of organizational change in terms of resistance problems (Paton and McCalman, 2008). Leaders need to communicate and create a context for the change, which is accord with the first step of establishing a sense of urgency of Kotter’s (1996) eight-step model. The critical element of this phase is for leader to gather as much information about external environment as possible (Burke, 2011) to obtain insight into the reason why such change is important and needed. Specifically, Carp and Perez should firstly make effort to master information such as changing technology in the industry and what competitors such as Canon, Epson are up to, etc., then to evaluate those information and set up short-term goal, before jumping into the change process too quickly. It is the leader’s responsibility to prepare for organization change as thoroughly as possible, to determine how to respond to the external environment change and how to build a more effective alignment for the corporation (Burke, 2011).…
