Choose one of Meyers’ dimensions to explain why leadership succession is challenging in this case. In your answer, make sure your understanding of the dimension you chose is clearly explained.
Question 1: (page 73-74 and the video)
Under the section, “A Heated Conversation” Clara and Jenny have a conversation about Jenny's
struggles. Clara’s responses to Jenny are indicative of her emotional intelligence. If you had to
rate Clara on a scale from 1 (poor emotional intelligence) to 5 (a great deal of emotional
intelligence), where would you rate her? Justify your rating and in doing so, clearly demonstrate
your understanding of emotional intelligence and what emotionally-intelligent behavior looks
like.
Question 2: (https://youtu.be/qf1ZI-O_9tU)
Brandon is supposed to inherit "When the Light Go Out" from Jenny, but we learn in the case
that handing over the reins to Brandon is challenging. See the figures below for where the USA
lies on each of Meyers’ culture map dimensions; we can assume that this case takes place in the
USA. Choose one of Meyers’ dimensions to explain why leadership succession is challenging in
this case. In your answer, make sure your understanding of the dimension you chose is clearly
explained.
Question 3: (page 55-72)
Those are two instances that contribute to Jenny's stress: (1) arguing with Clara over Brandon's
increased involvement in "When the Lights Go Out" and (2) working in a struggling industry.
Knowing the four categories of different work stressors from class (four categories of work
stressors: interpersonal, role-related, task-control, and organizational/physical
environment), to which category or categories do these stressors belong? In your answer, clearly
link each stressor to the category of your choice and provide an explanation for your choices so
that your understanding of the category/categories that you chose is clear.
Question 4: (page 55-72)
As a friend to Jenny, you might hear her complaints about Clara's lack of understanding and
suggest that Jenny talk to Norm about her frustrations with Clara; and you could also suggest that
Jenny talk to Abby about her frustrations with Clara. Given the two categories for managing
stress (primary and secondary), to which category or categories do these stressors belong? In
your answer, clearly link each suggestion to the category of your choice and provide an
explanation for your choices so that your understanding of the categories is clear.
Question 5: (page 9)
Jenny has a new: a Native American jewelry exhibit. If this exhibit were to take place at Teller
& Shinsky, would it be a risk-seeking or risk-avoidant strategy for the gallery? Explain your
choice and in doing so, ensure that your understanding of risk-seeking and/or risk-avoidant
strategy is clear.
Question 6: (page 25)
Jenny suggests to Clara, “[M]aybe we’ll have to think about putting off some of our exhibits till
next year, and looking even more long-term, I’d love to see us move from 10 to 6 exhibits a year,
and feature fewer artists at each exhibit.” Clara resists Jenny's suggestion. Guided by the
lessons learned so far, should Jenny treat this as an issue of managing resistance to change or an
issue of persuasion? Make a clear choice between these two approaches, and when justifying
your choice, be clear about when an individual should use one or the other.
