Assignment 1 Counterproductive Steps & Effective Problem Solving As a student at my institution, in pursuit of my electrical engineering degree, my professor would always make the statement “As an engineer, you will be paid to solve problems.” After graduating, and entering the workforce, I realized that there really wasn’t a proper method of solving problems in order to achieve solutions for the team’s problems. I am currently working on a project, and have noticed many counterproductive steps in the process of solving the problems. Starting off, the first two steps I encountered were 1.) Denying the problem and 2.) Ignoring the problem. My department encountered many problems on each machine over a period of time. Instead of investigating the root cause of the issues, Information Technology and the software team was charged with the blame for the issues that were occurring. This leads to step 3.) Blaming others for their problem. After constantly receiving complaints from different mechanics within the corporation, we finally scheduled a meeting. At the meeting there were more than 30 people present, and it was not productive due to multiple people expressing their thoughts and concerns at one time. This is give the perfect step 4.) Having too many people. This type of meeting resulted in step 5.) Believing the problem did not have a solution that could be implemented in time for production. It seemed as if the project was corrupt before it even began, because

The main goal of the project was to increase productivity by decreasing the time being wasted. The manager, who took all the responsibility of the project and five team members were part of the team. There was a project sponsor, who guided us and projected our ideas. This project started on August 9th, 2016. At the first meeting, we all sat in the conference room together. Not a sound came from any of us. Finally, after several minutes, what I felt like an hour, I simply had to say something. I asked, “Why do we need to change the process?” One member of the team, said, “We need to change it because I think we are wasting too much time on other things.” Another person, a senior woman, said, “I don’t think so we need to change the process. I am comfortable with the current one.” Others laughed. I thought to myself: I didn’t want to be in a group with people who didn’t take the project matter seriously. When the meeting ended, my

For example our group sometimes got off topic while talking with each other and it was challenging for us to get back on topic, this made us realize that we needed to stay on topic to make sure that we are getting the most quality work done and what we wanted to get out of this project. Secondly, we ran into an issue with not communicating about what plan we should use when we were planning during our plan time, for instance the weight of the marshmallow was not accounted for and was like a brick crashing down on the spaghetti which was as thin and weak. This made our tower crashing down and made us very disappointed
The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.
For this written assignment, I will imagine that I am on a team in my workplace and have identified a new best practice to implement. I will describe the steps of implementing this practice and research about how change comes about in the workplace. I will check policies and procedures in my workplace and may need to speak to a supervisor who has experience in this area. I will provide literature and support on why this change needs to occur. I will provide references on this material and a conclusion.
The best way to deal with problems is to focus on solutions, and not on the problems. When faced with a problem one first has to identify the problem. Identifying the problem allows for the next step which is to develop possible solutions. Developing solutions consists of nothing more than asking questions related to how to solve the problem. After all the questions have been asked, the next step is to choose the best solution. The last step is to execute the best solution chosen. (Problem Solving,
Addressing problems means more than quick fixes; it means dealing with conditions that create problems.
Most companies expect their employees not to just do the work but to do good work efficiently. At the organization I am a part of it is considered a helping profession and people either do work in the office or out in the field providing services. However, when you need to get something done, people do not seem to accomplish tasks at work because of the lack of support or the distractions that occur.
