SCENARIO 2 CONTINUED — After four weeks of unresolved debate, the Digital Marketing Director sends an email to the CEO accusing the Store Operations Director of being resistant to change and unable to read data. The Store Operations Director responds by copying the entire leadership team on a reply that questions the Digital Director’s understanding of customer behavior. Both directors now refuse to attend the same meetings. QUESTION 6 OF 4: Which stage of the conflict process model does this represent, and what is the PRIMARY risk?

SCENARIO 3 CONTINUED — The senior sales manager has no formal authority in this decision. He holds no title that gives him a vote.

SCENARIO 4 — MLO 3.4 — Read carefully before answering Questions 13 through 16. A university provost announces that three academic departments will be consolidated into two due to budget constraints. No decision has been made yet about which departments will merge or which chair will lead the consolidated unit.

QUESTION 12 OF 4: Which concept BEST describes the group’s decision-making process in this moment?

Epidemiological studies on mental illness show that:

SCENARIO 5 — MLOs 3.3 & 3.4 — Read carefully before answering Questions 17 through 20. A logistics company has implemented an AI-powered routing and scheduling system. The system generates daily recommendations for driver assignments, delivery routes, and warehouse staffing levels. Senior leadership has begun treating the AI’s recommendations as decisions rather than inputs — approving them automatically without review. Meanwhile, three veteran operations managers who have managed routing manually for over a decade are finding their judgment increasingly bypassed. One manager has begun providing data to leadership that supports the AI’s outputs even when she privately disagrees, because she has observed that questioning the system leads to her recommendations being dismissed. QUESTION 17 OF 4: Which concept BEST describes leadership’s behavior of automatically approving AI recommendations without critical review?
