According to Maxwell (2007), “…leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less” (p. 11). Do you agree or disagree? Explain. (Transcript of video attached)
Maxwell (2007) challenges you to use your responses to the following questions to determine your methods of influence. What do you rely upon most to persuade people to follow you? Rate yourself 1 (not a factor) to 10 (continual reliance).
Character – who you are
Relationships – who you know
Knowledge – what you know
Intuition – what you feel
Experience – where you have been
Past Success – what you have done
Ability – what you can do
How can you capitalize on your strong methods of influence (those with high scores)? How can you optimize or better utilize your methods of influence with low scores?

 Answer each question separately. You must incorporate details beyond the text, such as personal experiences or external sources. This assignment presents unique questions about the text’s concepts, requiring APA citations to support your arguments. Furthermore, each response must be at least 150 words long. 
1.  From your own life encounters, can you reflect on whether believing in your own capacity to achieve something has influenced how you respond to being persuaded to pursue it? Please elaborate on any instances where this may have played a significant role. 
2.  What theories explain how we are persuaded by media? How have new media technologies altered your own view of these technologies? 
3.  How have emotional appeals impacted you personally, and in what ways do you think new media platforms can enhance the potency of these appeals? Please share any experiences or observations you’ve had regarding this phenomenon. 
4.  Are we more easily persuaded by substance or by style? Does it matter? In your own experience, do you find yourself more swayed by substance or style?  

To prepare:
Review what you have learned so far about financial management and unexpected change. Also access People First San Diego’s websiteLinks to an external site. and review the sample budget located on the Dashboard. 
Recall the video from Week 6 depicting a budget conversation with the People First management team. Imagine that the result of this conversation was that all departments had to scale back due to reduced funding. Consider the following details: 
As Director of Clinical Services at People First San Diego, you normally have a budget of $300,000 to fund the Therapy Services department. This money pays for salaries, training, and supplies. However, this number has recently been cut to $230,000 due to a grant being pulled. You may no longer be able to support a team of four master’s-level social workers (whose salaries range from $60,000 to $66,000) and three interns, so you may have to restructure the department. Even though your budget has decreased, in a perfect world, you would still help a similar number of clients. This new, lower budget is not negotiable. What do you do?
You must post your initial Day 4 response before you are able to see any posts by your colleagues.
By Day 4
Based on the scenario, post a response:
Describe how your department or service delivery would need to be adjusted. For example, would you downsize, bring in more interns (remember the hidden cost), reduce hours, decrease professional development or training, or reconfigure the one-to-one therapy model? Be specific about what you would do and explain why.
How would you manage morale through the change? Be specific as to what strategies you would use to keep staff engaged, productive, and motivated.
What would you need from your own manager in order to be successful in leading your team through the change?
By Day 6
Respond to at least two colleagues by respectfully agreeing or disagreeing with their decision. Build on their post by describing an additional strategy to support team morale through the change.  
Use the Learning Resources to support your posts. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.  

Post an initial response to the following:
In your own words, what is Kotter’s theory of organizational change?
How do the stages of change used with clients apply to organizational change management?
How do the four functions of management (i.e., planning, organizing, leading, controlling) connect with change management? Which function do you believe is most important in the change process and why?
Respond to at least two colleagues by respectfully agreeing or disagreeing with their conceptualization of the change process and the connections they have made. Consider, too, whether you agree or disagree with their evaluation of the most important management function in the change process.
Use the Learning Resources to support your posts. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.
