Answers the Latest Update and
Recommended Version
When goals/outcomes are somewhat unclear in early preparation for a complex change, the

manager and the change management team develop several acceptable goals/outcomes. This

change in management approach is termed:




a. Unfreezing.

b. Nonlinear.

c. Cybernetic.

d. Linear.

→ ANS: B
→ While Lewin's theory was designed to describe planned or first-order changes, many
scholars think the theory is too simplistic to address how unplanned or second-order
change occurs. In complex situations with an uncertain change environment, a nonlinear
approach that involves flexibility improves overall outcomes. Linear change is

Communication is purposeful because the manager assesses current issues, such as specific

satisfactions and dissatisfactions with the newly implemented computerized documentation

system. Informally, the manager gathers available staff members to address similar learning

needs. Many times, staff members are found coaching other staff about improving use of the

new system. According to Senge (1990), the activities demonstrated in this example are:




a. Dialogue, team learning.

b. Resilience, personal mastery.

c. Shared vision, systems thinking.

d. Mental models, teachable moments.


→ ANS: A
→ Building shared vision occurs when leaders involve all members in moving personal
visions of the future into a consolidated vision common to members and leaders.


The clinical coordinator expects the position description of the new wound care specialist to
