Based on the Six-Images Framework, this paper will focus on demonstrating an understanding of the six images, how those images approach change management, assessing your personal image(s), and then discussing how you, using the image or images, would have addressed the transition at Sears (Chapter 1). Begin this assignment by reviewing the text regarding the framework and then take the self-assessment to determine your dominant image(s).

• What are the six change management images and how would you define them?
• How would you describe their corresponding approaches to change management?
• Detail the results of your assessment, including your top image or images, if those images require actions that would make you uncomfortable, and whether you feel you could navigate between strong and weak images based on the situational context.
• What is your assessment of the image(s) of Eddie Lampert in this scenario?
• Using your dominant image or images, how would you have approached the change management efforts by Eddie Lampert at Sears?
