Answer preview
In scenario 1, one is faced with the gigantic task of convincing employees to buy into the idea where one has no prior knowledge of what to expect. The fact the one is the director does little to help with inspiring others. However, this changes in scenario two, where one is the CEO (“Change Management Simulation: Power and Influence”, 2021). Being CEO comes with its advantages, thus enabling one to feel more in control of the situation. Scenario three has one already used to dealing with failure. The experience from scenarios one and two gives one some advantage over the scenario, thus helping in ensuring one does what gives the best results. Scenario four gives one experience and power to initiate change in the organization.
