Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because of our history of attention to details, we may need to challenge ourselves in developing our ability for leadership. Moving from micromanaging to focusing on setting expectations for those for whom we are accountable may feel uncomfortable. However, that movement reinforces our ability to deal with longer-term issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Stability and chaos are at opposite ends of a continuum. When chaos is present, change occurs but life may seem uncontrollable. Resisting further change is a move toward establishment of equilibrium.
