1. (a) In this week's "Generative Glance," we learned about adopting fluid traits and styles of leadership. Apply the three styles discussed in the Generative Glance (e.g., top-down) to proper situations that you have been involved in within the workplace. (b) Describe your understanding of the "Edge of Chaos" state in relation to a leader. You can conduct additional research to obtain more insights about the Edge of Chaos.

2. As we discussed this week, mental models are very useful as they help to remember details, categorize new information, and generally navigate the world effectively and efficiently. But that construction comes with two great cautionary warnings: (a) the illusion of validity (My ideas about the world are true.) and (b) the illusion of verification (What I see in the world is true.). Conduct research to identify 1-2 case(s) from the world of politics or business to analyze the presence and effects of the above cautionary warnings and their implications for people/affected parties. Note: Your response should be a thoughtful, objective academic analysis and be free of personal opinions about the subject's character or political positions. cite at least 1 resource to support your discussions
