Section 1) Select two of the theories presented this week and apply each to a contemporary organization. The organization that you choose should not be your current or former employer.

• Identify the two OD theories you selected.
• Explain how the two theories you selected reflect an issue the organization is currently facing.
• Explain how you could use these two theories to help the organization better understand and resolve the issue.
• Describe some methods and processes that you would use to explain these two theories, and their relevance, to your client.
• Theory 1 Individual differences
• Theory 2 ) Social identity theory
• The cardinal rule in the OD profession is this: Opinions dont matter . This is because opinions can often be subjective, biased, or based on erroneous information. Theories and scholarly, peer-reviewed literature are much more objective and reliable; therefore, they should be incorporated into every OD assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and overall change strategy. In this weeks Discussion, you will have the opportunity to apply theories in your analysis of a real-world organization.
• Section B:
• Submit a 2- to 3- page paper written in APA format and style in which you analyze and discuss which theories help explain the current issues that the Quantum Leap Marketing Partners organization is facing, and which theories could be used to help address and mitigate these issues.Support your Assignment with references to recent (within the last 5 years) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources and this weeks Learning Resources.
• Consider the following Quantum Leap Marketing Partners case study.Quantum Leap Marketing Partners is a small, privately held firm with 30 employees that provides marketing consulting, advertising, and digital marketing services. The companys founder, John Thomas, was recently ousted by the other partners, and the firm barely survived this change of leadership. Everyone in the company is anxious and the culture is dis-eased. Employees tend to keep their heads down, stay quiet, and try to go unnoticed for fear of losing their jobs. Many employees forego lunch and breaks so as not appear like slackers. Infighting is high as employees seek to ensure their own job security. Frankly, they seem depressed and unwell.The new managing partner, Stan Simons, is very concerned about low morale, attrition, and lack of motivation. Clients are also expressing their concerns and a few who were loyal to the founder have left the firm. Employee attitude cannot sink any lower, nor can the firm afford to lose any more clients. The partners fear they may be losing control of the organization. This case study presents a complex situation with multiple layers of organizational and behavioral dysfunction. You will likely see that many of the OD theories you read about this week can provide a framework through which you can identify and understand what is currently happening at this firm. Do you believe that different theories may provide varying insight? Which theories do you believe would be most helpful in clarifying, understanding, and mitigating the situation?

Section A) For this Discussion, you explore these entrepreneurial dimensions of an organization. Read the table below and then proceed to the Discussion instructions:

Since this is a two-part discussion, I will provide the leading questions to respond to later in the week and extend the time out. So 8 days on part one and then the responses by later in the week so I have time to review.

Review the following case study:

Rick has recently returned home from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Upon returning home his wife Jennifer quickly noticed his changed behavior. Rick also revealed he witnessed his friends being blown up into bits and narrowly escaped injury himself numerous times. He has difficulty sleeping because of intense nightmares and he daily experiences hyper-vigilance and reacts dramatically to loud noises. Jennifer has also noticed him drinking more and isolating himself from his friends. When asked about his service in Afghanistan, Rick quickly changes the subject and refuses to talk about it.

• What diagnosis would you give and why?
• What treatment would you use to help Rick?

• Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA): Understanding Levels of Care

Determining the necessary level of care for a client is vital for effective treatment planning. Read the article on Levels of Care by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) included in your reading assignment this week.

Submit a 1-page paper that briefly explains each level of care and give one example of a client that would meet criteria for each level.

All papers should be written in APA format. Use 12-point Times New Roman font and include a student style title page and references (no abstract required). Use your APA Manual as a guide. Plagiarism or use of AI will result in disciplinary action up to and including a 0 on the assignment and/or failure of the course.

Please do a power point presentation of my paper. The paper is already written and you can use it exactly for the power point. I will also attach an example powerpoint that the professor provided for a good one. The paper is not perfect and powerpoint does not have to be either.! “Here is an example of a great presentation, with graphics and good timing/pace. This one includes a results section with a template leaving space for future statistics when she gets her results. This is also available in tow of the paper samples above. You do NOT have to use the “missing number” template, and you can see the 2-study paper example for how to report planned results in study 2. However, this makes it much easier when you get to capstone to simply fill-in-the-blanks with your numbers.”
