Answer to Question 1

A
Senge's theory on change suggests that each individual or organization bases activities on a set of assumptions, or a set of beliefs, or mental pictures about the way that the world should work. When these invisible models are uncovered and consciously evaluated, it is possible to determine their influences on work accomplishment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Encouragement to report violence in all its forms is crucial to understanding the root of the problem and implementing plans to eradicate it. Acts of good faith by organizational manage-ment in supporting staff include a policy of non-retaliation for reporting. Making sure that re-porting is easier and doing an impartial investigation are critical. Addressing a toxic culture also requires training in conflict management, leadership, communication, and team-building.
