  4. AVERAGE PERFORMANCE Leaving the . . . HIGH Current State Moving through the . . . Transition State And reaching the . . . Future State LOW These three phases can be mapped onto the performance curve END OF CHANGE EVENT ONSET OF CHANGE EVENT TIME

  5. AVERAGE PERFORMANCE HIGH LOW These three phases can be mapped onto the performance curve SATISFIED COMPLETION (Relief) HOPEFUL OPTIMISM (Benefit of the Doubt) EMERGING PESSIMISM (Confusion/Worry) RENEWED OPTIMISM (Understanding/Confidence) RENEWED HOPE (Hope/Energy) PUBLIC RESISTENCE (Fear/Anger) CHECKING OUT (Sadness/Resignation) TIME
