Discussion Objectives: (CO3) Evaluate the
impacts of theory (abstract) on operations (reality). (CO-4) Synthesize the
lessons to be learned from a large body of research and writing.
Discussion Overview: In this discussion, you
will utilize the ancient educational pedagogy of storytelling to better enable
yourself and your classmates to understand the content, context, and
applicability of the course concepts. Storytelling has been empirically shown
to be vastly superior to reading and viewing media with respect to memory
retention and enabling learning at the cognitive level. Plus, it’s fun. So, here
we go:
Give an example of a crisis you’ve been involved in, observed,
or read about. How well did leadership manage and communicate during the
situation? Did the organization achieve closure, and if so, how quickly and
effectively? In your assessment, knowing what you know now, did they consider
everything that should have been considered?
Discussion Instructions: Tell the story of your
incident. Every story has these elements: a hero/protagonist–your subject
individual or population; an apparently insurmountable conflict–the event that
drew the attention of the media; a painful and sacrificial decision that must
be made-typically, surrender, flee, or fight; and based on the choice, a
process that is undertaken to achieve resolution. Ensure that your story is
in-depth enough so that your peers will be able to provide a scholarly response
For this assignment you will be using the Bastrop Complex Fire.
