Secret to success in learning:
▪ Do all required readings prior to coming to class. This
requires project managing your time.
▪ Complete all assignments to the best of your ability.
▪ 3:1 rule.
▪ RESPECT EACH OTHER: Stay engaged and do not
distract the learning of others (no abetting permitted as this
is an academic offence and it will go on your record).
▪ Attend class and complete the required weekly review of
all materials.
▪ Complete the assignments to your best ability (lots of
resources for you).

What is a global mind-set?
Definition
• A global mindset is the ability to
recognize, read, and adapt to
cultural signals, both overt and
subtle, so that your effectiveness
isn’t compromised when you are
dealing with different backgrounds
Need to possess:
• Individual qualities
• Communication skills
• Actionable knowledge relevant to
health care

Global Mindset Abilities Involves:
Adopting a global perspective.
Empathizing and acting effectively across cultures.
Processing complex information about novel
environments.
Developing new multilevel mental models.

Global mindset begin within:
Begins with selfawareness.
• Compare own mental
models with those of people
from other cultures/regions.
• Develop better knowledge of
people and cultures,
preferably through
immersion.

Defining Change:
Not a singular concept
• Instead a multi-faceted concept
Buller (2015) defines change as:
• Replacement + Resilience
Change

Kezar (2014) defines change as:
• Isomorphism + Adaptation + Organizational
Change + Innovation/Reform (p. xii)
Change v. Transition:
• Change: Outward and visible
• Transition: Inward and spiritual

Buller’s (2015) Perspective on Change:
Five reasons why change
processes fail or are
unsuccessful:
• Unsuitability of management models
• Adequate needs case
• Incompatible strategic planning
methods
• Lack of attention of culture
embracing change
• Treat all change alike
Sees change as a constant –
but aims to understand
different types of change
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 27
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Buller’s (2015) Perspective on Change:
Change factors are both
visible and invisible
• Visible (obvious ones such as:
cost, time, and quality)
• Invisible (lie hidden below the
surface are often overlook: power
relationships, politics, perceptions
and beliefs, ego and distrust)

foster a culture of innovation:

Buller’s (2015) Core Takeaways:
Metaphor and his rationale of taking advantage of ICE resources
• Avoid lurking dangers
Highlights 3 different ways in which HEI may discover they may
need to change
• Forced
• Eventually be forced on them
• Needed because of internal rather than external factors
Identifies 5 different levels of institutional change in HEI. Namely,
changes in:
• Direction
• Personnel
• Tactics
• Structure
• Procedures

Kezar (2014) Perspective on Change:
Focuses on second-order or deep change
• Also called transformational, punctuated change, doubleloop learning, where organizations challenge existing
assumptions and beliefs
Sees this second-order change requiring:
Chapter 4: Creating deep
change (pp. 61-83)
• Sensemaking (1) individuals attach new meaning to
familiar concepts; and 2) individuals develop new
language and new concepts that describe a change
institution)
• Organizational Learning (relies more on a rational and
data-oriented approach)
To learn, we must become aware of our own
and others’ mental models which can shape
the possibilities for learning

Sensemaking
Organizational learning
• Focused on second-order change
and more effective with large
groups
• Far less research
• Individual base
• Helps with facilitating human
interactions
• Norms play an important role
• Focused on first-order change
• Based on the assumption that data
results in solving problems
• Lends well to managerial views of
organization

Implementable Skills (knowing 3 c’s):
Complexity.
• Number of distinct/important identities people
perceive about themselves.
• People have multiple self-concepts.
• Higher complexity when selves are separate
(not similar).
Consistency.
• Multiple selves require similar personality
attributes.
• Self-views are compatible with actual attributes.
Clarity.
• Self-concept is clear, confidently defined, and
stable.
• Clarity increases with age and high consistency.
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 33
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Outcomes of “Self-Concept”:
People have better well-being with:
• Multiple selves (complexity).
• High-consistency selves.
• Well-established selves (clarity).
Effects on individual behaviour and performance.
• High self-concept complexity – more adaptive, more diverse
networks, more stressful, more resources needed to maintain
several identities.
• Less complex selves – more investment in fewer roles, which
may lead to higher performance.
• High self-concept clarity – better performance, leadership, career
development, less threatened by conflict.
• But very high clarity may cause role inflexibility.
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 34
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Outcomes of “Self Enhancement”:
Drive to promote and protect a positive selfview.
• Competent, attractive, lucky, ethical, valued.
• Evident in common and important situations.
Self-enhancement outcomes.
• Better mental and physical health.
• Higher motivation due to “can-do” beliefs.
• Riskier decisions, inflated perceived personal causation,
slower to recognize mistakes.
• Better decision-making supporters
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 35
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Outcomes of “Self-Verification”:
Motivation to confirm and maintain our selfconcept.
• Stabilizes our self-concept.
• We communicate self-concept to others.
• We seek confirming feedback.
Self-verification outcomes.
• Affects perceptions -- selective attention.
• Dismiss feedback contrary to self-concept.
• Motivated to interact with those who affirm our self-view.
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 36
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Outcomes of “Self-Evaluation:”
Self-esteem.
• Extent to which people like, respect, and are satisfied with
themselves.
• High self-esteem: less influenced by others, more persistent,
more logical thinking.
Self-efficacy.
• Belief that we can successfully perform a task (MARS factors).
• General self-efficacy, “can-do” belief across situations.
Locus of control.
• General belief about personal control over life events.
• Higher self-evaluation with internal locus of control.
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 37
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Outcomes of “Social-Self:”
Opposing motives:
• Need to be distinctive and unique (personal identity).
Need for inclusion and assimilation with
others (social identity).
• We define ourselves by groups we are easily
identified with, that have high status, and our
minority status in a situation
• We define ourselves by how we differentiate Integrity
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 38
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Integrity is key:
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having
strong moral principles and moral uprightness
With integrity, your perceptions will always remain
whole
• Perception: the process of receiving information about and
making sense of the world around us.
• Selective attention: selecting versus ignoring sensory information.
• Affected by characteristics of perceiver and object perceived.
• Emotional markers are assigned to selected information.
• Selective attention biases.
• Assumptions and expectations.
• Confirmation bias.
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 39
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Second order thinking and sensemaking is also
Important:
As Kezar (2014) highlighted, knowledge structures that we
develop to describe, explain, and predict the world around us.
• Visual: image road maps.
• Relational: cause–effect.
• Important for sense-making.
Problem: Mental models make it difficult to see the world in
different ways.
• Need to constantly question our mental models.
• Need to constantly ask questions to gain truth
Without asking questions, we will never be supporting
decisions correctly
Presented by Dr Silvie MacLean, EdD, CPA CMA, MHSc, HBAEdD, 40
MHSc, HBA, BA,
Summary:
The perceptual process of deciding whether an observed behaviour or
event is caused mainly by internal or external factors requires
• A global mindset
• Adapting to change
• Implementing skills with Integrity
Change is extremely complex and occurs at multiple levels of culture and
within departments and within individuals perceptions
Understanding the self requires assessment on 4 levels:
• Self-enhancement
• Self-verification
• Self-evaluation
• Social self
Demonstrating integrity is going to differentiate you in the 21st century
