Week 5 of this course discussed the topic of problem solving, the different approaches to being an effective problem solver, and the factors that hurt team problem solving. In order to solve a problem or issue that a team might be struggling with it is very important to first define it, then work with the team to decide on solutions. In my current organization I work directly with four to five managers and indirectly with over a dozen more. Very often I work closely with a small group of managers to create and develop strategic plans for our specific department. On occasion, while we are developing theses plans we run into a roadblock that needs to be resolved. The next step in problem solving is making sure the entire team agrees on what the problem is. If we disagree on this step it will be extremely difficult to finalize our project effectively. It is important in that the team is open and listens to all of the points of view of the group tests all alternative solutions. We test theses solutions to see if one could be more beneficial to the solution than the other. Solving a problem can take time, it is better for the team and the solution to remember to not rush. In my organization rushing into a solution could result in overlooked important details, a low quality of work, and could prevent all of the members from having a full understating of the solution. Once a resolution has been agreed upon the team must evaluate the solution. Failing to …show more content…
In my organizations it is important to be ethical, at least in terms of my companies standards. My organization has a particular set of ethics that are a non negotiable if you are employed with them. We call them our core values, which are honesty and integrity, teamwork, customer loyalty, being cost effective and competitive, and offering quality products and services. Thorough this course I have learned that different people can perceive ethics differently and that there is a fine line between ethics and morality. The core values that my organization follows are very important, this course has taught me about other ways to be ethical in a professional organization. One important ethical practice is to be reliable. Reliability means coming to work on time, time-managing time and prioritizing, meeting deadlines, and doing the work that I say that I am going to do. It is also professionally ethical to be responsible. Failure to be responsible in my organization will lead to termination. Many professional organizations require that their employees dress professionally, act professionally, and treat others with respect. This creates a workplace that is comfortable and easily manageable. As a manager in my organization there are times that I must request that my staff review the dress code policy and evaluate the clothing that they have chosen for the day. Because I work on a busy sales floor I have to evaluate cell phone, and social media etiquette. It is important
