LEAD FPX 5220 Assessment 1 Immunity to Change Map: How to Write It

This manual is for LEAD FPX 5220 Assessment 1, start to submission. The Immunity to Change Map asks you to use Kegan and Lahey's immunity to change process on yourself: state an improvement goal, list what you do or fail to do that works against it, uncover the competing commitments behind those behaviors, identify the big assumptions that sustain them, and plan how to test those assumptions and develop. The grade turns on honest, specific self-analysis. A map whose columns connect logically, with a real big assumption, scores the top column. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as LEAD-FPX5220, and some courserooms print LEAD5220; both point to this same Assessment 1. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Immunity to Change Map".

One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.

How LEAD FPX 5220 Assessment 1 is scored

FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:

LevelWhat it means on a immunity to change map
DistinguishedThe immunity to change map is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations.
ProficientThe immunity to change map is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general.
BasicThe immunity to change map describes concepts with little application.
Non-performanceA required part of the immunity to change map is missing.

Complete the four-column map honestly; the course rewards insight, not a flattering picture.

Sample excerpt: competing commitment Original model by Capella Tutors

My goal is to delegate more of the team's reporting, yet I keep rewriting my analysts' drafts late at night instead of returning them with comments.1 The competing commitment behind that behavior is that I am committed to never letting a flawed report reach the director with my name on it.2 The big assumption is that if one report goes out imperfect, the director will conclude I am not in control of my team, an assumption I can test by sending one analyst's draft with minor issues and seeing what actually happens.3

  • 1States the goal and counter-behavior.
  • 2Uncovers the competing commitment.
  • 3Names the big assumption and a test.
