How should current successes and expansion be communicated to target audiences?
Choice A
Given the scenario presented, Janet has little, if any further opportunity to communicate with anyone about the program. In fact, the less she says the better. But she should have in hand a sentence or two about what happened that she can fall back upon in case anyone asks.
Choice B
Actions always speak louder than words.
Choice C
If Janet, Elaine and, possibly Jeannie, decide to modify the program strategy, either by dismantling it to use certain elements, or by applying its principles to individual cases of improving student self-discipline, then they should take several actions. They should target only stakeholders necessary for communication and keep them informed at every stage of planned change. They should communicate with them crafting clear, concise and personalized messages.
Choice D
Why these choices? None of these statements is accurate.
How should current successes and expansion be communicated to target audiences?
You Chose A
Perhaps Janet ought to let Elaine take the lead to communicate officially to the various publics about closing down Eagle’s venture into Cooperative Discipline and the possibilities of making use of what was learned in the school community. But Janet will have many opportunities to communicate to others what happened, and she should be prepared. Others will seek her out to get her reading on what happened. Maybe her best bet is to be prepared to respond, rather than become proactive. What do you think?
You Chose B
Yes, actions always speak louder than words and a picture is worth
a thousand of them—words, that is. However, words, spelling out the
right message, are needed here. What would you say if you were Jan?
Our advice is that if she ever wants to try out some of these principles
again, her best bet is to rename the project. Cooperative Discipline would
likely be the kiss of death around Eagle School in the future.
You Chose C
Right on!
You Chose D
Don’t forget to keep your responses to these challenge points. They will help you as you go about planning your own change strategy.
