<p><strong>In this activity, you will use the Left-Hand Column Case tool to work through a difficult conversation.</strong> This activity is based on an excerpt from Peter Senge's <em>Fifth Discipline Fieldbook.</em> </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Think of an uncomfortable conversation you've had while trying to implement change.</strong> This conversation could be one you had while working on a past initiative or one that occurred more recently while you were taking steps for your Initial Action Plan. If possible, we also encourage you to consider a difficult conversation that you might have had with a student. </li>
<li> In the right-hand column of the template, <strong>write out sample dialogue from the conversation.</strong> This should be what a recording device in the room would pick up.</li>
<li>In the left-hand column, <strong>write what you thought and felt in the conversation, but didn't actually say. </strong></li>
<li><strong>Now reflect!</strong> How did the left column drive the dialogue of the conversation? What conclusions did you jump to? What would you do differently now that you’ve analyzed this conversation? </li>
<li><strong>Rewrite the dialogue</strong> so that it brings important left-hand column thinking to the surface. </li>
</ol>
<p><strong>While this is a reflective activity and can stay private, you may also benefit from sharing your case with a colleague or student.</strong> Talk them through what you did in the activity, including any insights you had. Ask them about what they would have done differently and if they think your new dialogue is an improvement. Also consider sharing in the forums how this activity might have influenced your thinking. Now that you've reflected, what are the next steps for improving your conversations?</p>
<p><strong style="line-height: 1.4em; font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif, sans-serif;">If you would like to bring this activity back to your school, we have created a <a href="/assets/courseware/v1/b5c39d020cce81582e7ef13b99fdca39/asset-v1:MITx+11.154x+3T2018+type@asset+block/Left-Hand_Column_Case_Take-Out_Package.pdf" target="_blank" style="color: #0079bc; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s linear 0s;">Take-Out Package</a> for this activity.</strong></p>
