This week’s discussion forum will give us an opportunity to analyze the health of our own personal power bases and determine how we can strengthen areas that may need improvement. To that end, please review carefully the instructions below as we prepare for our first such discussion of the term.
Directions:
- Locate “Personal Power Basis: Assess and Build” on page 31 in the textbook.
- Follow the directions in the textbook.
- For Point 2: Rather than brainstorm as a group, instead simply share your thoughts relative to the prompt as your initial discussion post. Your classmates can then engage with you in discussion as we all compare and contrast our responses.
