  7. Reality Therapy • Defined as a method of counseling and/or problem-solving. • Key components: 1. Take an honest look at both what they want and what they are doing to get what they want. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of what they are doing. 3. Use this self-evaluation as a springboard for positive personal change.

  8. Lead Management • Change in paradigm from a boss-management approach. • Lead managers continue to focus on “the system.” • Lead managers persuade workers/students to continually upgrade the system by communicating and building trust.
