Critical Reflection on 3 Readings,
Clayton M. Christensen and Kirsten Shu, “What is an Organization’s Culture?”
Holly Shroth, “It’s Not About Winning, It’s About Getting Better,”
Noah Askin and Gianpiero Petriglieri, “Tony Hsieh at Zappos: Structure, Culture and
Change,”
Three Readings are attached.
Reflected on the readings enough to have your own
thoughts to advance the broad conversation about leadership. What left you really thinking from the
week’s readings? Why is this important to you? What about other leaders? Jump into the global
conversation about leadership and get comfortable voicing your opinions, ideas and critique!
1. Blogs are written in the first person and clearly demonstrate student understanding, thinking and
thoughtful response to required readings.
2. Blogs always begin with a main point (clearly stated in the first paragraph and bolded or
highlighted) and include paragraphs with clear purpose and effective transitions to build a cohesive
case around your main point.
3. Blogs reflect student introspection and critical thinking as applied to the authors’ ideas. For more
information on critical thinking: http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766
4. Blogs should include your opinion of the readings, and some connection to current events, your
work, other courses, and/or personal experiences. You don’t have to agree with the authors!
5. Blogs always include discussion of a minimum of two authors and how their ideas differ, connect,
interact, etc. Always name the authors (use last names only, never include article titles, and use the
abbreviated “et al.” when there are three or more authors on a particular article).
6. Blogs are never a review or summary of the readings; they are a response to the readings.
