Unit 8 Journal (CTC101)

Due Date: By 11:59 p.m. EST, Wednesday, of Unit 8 Points: 100

Overview: Each week, you will create a new journal entry and answer specific reflection questions. Refer to the specific unit for the reflection questions. The journal will be graded in its entirety.

Instructions: Please reflect on the following in your journal. Stephen Covey’s habit Win-Win is a frame of mind that seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. It encourages us to have consideration and consider other people’s wins as well as our own. We are conditioned to put people in categories. If we can break ourselves of that habit, we can open ourselves up to the possibilities of mutual benefit through a balance of empathy and courage.

• How does the habit Win-Win, along with the concepts of inclusivity and diversity,

help to grow an organization and help you to increase your growth mindset?

Requirements:

• Each journal is meant to be an ongoing individual conversation between you

and your instructor during the week.

• You are required to participate by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. (EST), each week.

• All conversations in the journal are strictly between you and your instructor and

cannot be seen by other students.

Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.
