Why are paradigm shifts important in the workplace and how do they affect leadership roles? Discuss a paradigm shift that provoked a change in your life or in your workplace. How did this paradigm shift change your way of thinking?

Next, discuss how perceptual contrast and paradigm shifts are related. How can a leader use perceptual contrast to seem more effective than they actually are?

With classmates, discuss your perceptions of a good leader and compare and contrast your responses.
