Answer to Question 2

Answer: The five key management skills and activities required to effectively lead positive change include (1) establishing a climate of positivity, (2) creating readiness for change, (3) articulating a vision of abundance, (4) generating commitment, and (5) institutionalizing the positive. Change is typical of all organizations. Most managers focus most of the time on the negative or problematic aspects of change. A leader who will focus on positive change is both rare and valuable. Not everyone masters it, although everyone can.
