1. Explain the personalities of Hem, Haw, Sniff and Scurry? Explain why they behave the way they do. The video “Who moved my cheese?” » includes four characters entering the maze in search of cheese. Both Sniff and Scurry are proactive as they gauge the condition of the cheese and keep their running shoes around their necks instead of tossing them aside after finding the first cheese station. This proves that they expected changes in the future and are ready to face all kinds of situations. Mice intend to spend more time running around and searching for new cheese rather than planning, thinking, and analyzing the situation before initiating the search. However, their spontaneity saves them time and gets them to their destination more quickly (Hubpages, 2014). The mice adapt to changes in cheese levels in the first station because they have no emotional influence on their decision-making process. Their protocols for navigating the maze are simply trial and error: Sniff points in the general direction of the cheese and Scurry runs ahead to locate the cheese. Such behavior also applies to the adaptation process. To summarize, Sniff and Scurry are the type of individuals who take immediate action before thinking about how change should be implemented. The other two characters are the little humans: Hem and Haw. Hem manipulates the situation to make it controllable and systematic, leading to rigidity and greater resistance to change (Sisney, 2013). Having a fixed mindset does not allow it to be influenced by any external factors. Creating such a system, however, leads to inflexibility, rigidity and a pessimistic character because it prefers to remain stationary rather than looking for a new medium of paper......Change of organization.
