Below are a number of scenarios that you either have, or will, deal with in the workplace and relationships with your fellow workers. Tell us how you would address each. Think “outside the box” and remember this week the focus is Human Resource Management and teams! PLEASE DO NOT PLAGIARIZE

Managing Innovation: Your ideas never seem to get anywhere because of bureaucracy and an aversion to risk. How can you persuade other people that new ideas are not always dangerous and can actually be of use to your organization?

Conflict in the workplace: Two of your team-mates are constantly provoking each other and complaining about the others work and behavior. You need to resolve this before it flares up and starts to impact on other staff in the office. What can you do?

Using jargon in the workplace: You have been told that you use too much jargon at work. Isn’t jargon a way of showing you understand your job? Now what?

Managing performance: You have a member of your staff who is starting to miss their targets. What can you do to improve their performance? And oh-by-the-way, this staff member is a good friend. Careful here, because everyone else is watching to see what you do.
