According to Schein, which approach would decrease learning anxiety?
Answer(s): B
According to Schein, learning anxiety is the fear or discomfort that people experience when they are asked to learn something new or change their behavior. To decrease learning anxiety, change leaders should create psychological safety, which is the sense of trust and support that people feel when they are learning or changing. One way to create psychological safety is to encourage staff to try new things and experiment without fear of failure or punishment. The other options would increase learning anxiety, as they would create more pressure, stress, and negativity for the staff.

According to Tiompenaars and harronden-Turner, which example is a level three basic assumption' expression of culture?
Answer(s): A
According to Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, culture can be expressed at three levels: artifacts, values, and basic assumptions. Artifacts are the visible and tangible manifestations of culture, such as symbols, rituals, and heroes. Values are the shared beliefs and preferences that guide behavior and decision making. Basic assumptions are the unconscious and taken-for-granted beliefs that underlie values and artifacts. Meeting customer need is more important than profit is an example of a basic assumption, as it reflects a deep-rooted belief that influences the values and artifacts of the organization. The other options are examples of artifacts or values, not basic assumptions.

The environment dimension considers the external and internal factors that affect the change, such as market conditions, competitors, regulations, culture, values, and behaviors.

Which management approach is recommended to help people through the neutral zone' phase of Gridges' model of human transition?
Bridges' model of human transition describes three phases that people go through when they experience change: ending, losing, and letting go; the neutral zone; and the new beginning. The neutral zone is a period of uncertainty, confusion, and anxiety, but also creativity, innovation, and learning. To help people through this phase, change leaders should describe this period as an opportunity to learn new skills, explore new possibilities, and experiment with new solutions. The other options would not help people through this phase, as they would either maintain the status quo, increase gossip and rumors, or limit feedback channels.
