Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest
son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians
into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of
Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned. Ahaziah was 42 years old when he
became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s
name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri. He also walked in the
ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do
wickedly. Therefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the
house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his
father, to his destruction. He also followed their advice, and went
with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael
king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. Then
he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had
received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And
Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram
the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
His going to Joram was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s downfall; for
when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of
Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of
Ahab, and found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s
brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them. Then he searched
for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and
brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him,
“because,” they said, “he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the
Lord with all his heart.”
So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the
kingdom.

This video is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid.
"Who Moved My Cheese" is a way to deal with change in your work and in your life. It was written in the style of a parable or business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice ("Sniff" and "Scurry,") and two "little people" ("Hem" and "Haw."), during their hunt for cheese.
The cheese as something related to our livelihoods—our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in—although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have is no longer available.

Identify what you believe are Greenvale Correctional
Facility’s key issues. Explain your assessment process and the
factors you considered during your analysis. Be sure to include how
organizational culture affects assessment in
organizations.
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all areas
of group life. Though organizational culture is not always
immediately obvious in organizations, its outcomes (e.g., turnover,
morale, productivity) can be. Some workplaces require employees to
wear business attire whereas others allow employees to dress
casually. In some workplaces, formal address is used and in others,
people use first names regardless of position. Both examples
reflect organizational norms, or “the way we do things around
here,” otherwise known as organizational culture.
Organizational culture may be subtle yet pervasive and may have a
profound effect on employee attitudes and behavior.
Organizational culture affects each of the levels of organizational assessment: individual, small group, large group, intergroup, and organization. As an organizational consultant or practitioner, it is beneficial to have a toolbox of assessments for organizational evaluation for each of these levels. By assessing organizational culture, practitioners and consultants can then develop evidence-based interventions to address the issues identified by the assessment and evaluation processes.
Consider how the information above may be applied to
the Greenvale Correctional Facility case study that
follows.
Greenvale Correctional Facility is a large, privately-owned, medium-security prison in the southeastern United States. The prison opened in 1988, and, until recently, it employed 300 security, operational, facilities, maintenance, healthcare, and administrative employees.
The prison’s salary and benefit structure are
comparable to other prison systems around the country. However,
Greenvale is currently experiencing significant attrition, creating
an unsafe and unstable environment, both for the inmates and
remaining employees. Staff has reduced from 300 to 210 employees
during the last 6 months, and attempts to recruit and hire new
staff have been challenging. Online recruitment, employee sourcing,
and participation in various job fairs have not created a plentiful
base of trained, experienced employment candidates, and efforts to
retain existing personnel have been unsuccessful. Exit interview
data point to leadership issues, and poor working
conditions.
Prison leadership is comprised of Warden Bob Jones,
who started at Greenvale when it first opened; Sergeant Dave Lee,
the senior-level correctional leader with over 15 years of
experience; and Officer Stan Phillips, a correctional manager who
joined the leadership team in 2015. All three leaders work
collaboratively, but they tend to remain siloed away from the other
employees. All of the prison’s communications are top-down
and authoritative; the leadership team believes this style is
necessary given the work environment and inherent risks involved.
While the team believes they are fostering a
management-by-objectives culture, many employees feel excluded from
the process and perceive more of an in-group/out-group mindset.
Consequently, several recent attempts to implement new policies and
procedures have met with resistance from the current
employees.
