...A Hostile Workplace John F. Warren PHL/458 November 18, 2013 Dr. Velma Perez A Hostile Workplace Solving problems and issues can be challenging. One must be creative to produce an original idea which solves the problem. There are four stages in the creative process used to solve a problem. I briefly will describe each stage. The first stage is “Searching for Challenges.” In this stage, meeting challenges in an imaginative, original, and effective way is the essence of creativity. This stage of the creative process represents the habit of constantly searching for challenges. It is this fact where creativity hinders on the challenges that one perceives. The second stage is “Expressing the Problem or Issue.” Finding the best expression that will produce the most helpful ideas is the objective in this stage. Consider as many expressions as possible. Each expression produces different avenues of thought. This will help an individual see a problem from many perspectives. The last thing a person wants to do is view a problem form just one perspective. That will limit that individual from many beneficial avenues of creative thought. “Investigating the Problem or Issue” is the third stage. This stage allows you to gather the necessary information to effectively deal with the problem. Research, experiences, and observations will be factors in dealing with the current problem. You can also interview knowledgeable people with expertise in that...

...interesting, as I saw this concept illustrated through my personal experience as well as through that of other interns in other professional disciplines. Having spent five months at Versace, I can confidently advise future interns to focus on the overall benefit they can bring to the organization, rather than focusing on the mundaneness of some assigned tasks. In retrospect, however, perhaps I should have observed the organization more before attempting to analyze my observations. Future interns may also avoid allowing their expectations to cloud their perceptions of the organization; they should seek to understand the interpersonal dynamics before forming an opinion. In order to be successful, an intern should be proactive and be unafraid to communicate lucidly with his/her supervisors. A social-organizational psychology student preparing to enter an internship should consider the suggestions to be observant and flexible in changing situations and environments. Observation of others’ behaviors and norms in the workplace serve as a good example to follow and pays off in person-organizational fit. I was once assigned a task to assist in the reorganization of the office space which the Marketing intern refused to complete. The task was to take a bag of keys and match the correct key to the door lock on each office. Although this was not the most stimulating assignment, I made light of it and used the opportunity to chat with employees with whom I otherwise would not have the opportunity...

...attributes, they understand how to be” on top of their game.” He encourages finding common ground with his potential customers by requesting his sales team find out what’s going on locally. Mr. Salatino allows the salesmen to observe the other sales people in action and gives them motivation to sell, by offering sales promotions to potential or current clients.

Introduction: Business education and learning has become challenging over the last few years.

...In today's global work environment, it's a given that companies need culturally diverse teams to succeed. Both scientific studies and common sense tell us that having people with different viewpoints onboard increases the creativity that teams will employ in solving problems. Of course, that's assuming all members of the team are pulling in the same direction. But what if they aren't? Can being exposed to intercultural conflicts and tensions have an impact even on observers who are not directly involved in these disharmonies? Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Roy Y. J. Chua started asking those questions a few years ago, when writing a case about a Chinese luxury apparel company. The firm had members from China, Hong Kong, Germany, and France, who were all working together to meld Chinese elements with Western fashion. As he observed them, however, Chua saw tension and miscommunication based on cultural differences. "Even though, when you asked them, they didn't think it was a problem, I wondered if it could have an indirect impact on people observing these tensions," he says. Chua compares it to the kind of "hostile work environment" that occurs in cases of sexual harassment or racial discrimination—in which coworkers' morale or performance suffers even when they are not the direct targets of abuse. He coined a term for the phenomenon, "ambient cultural disharmony," which he discusses in depth in The Costs of Ambient Cultural Disharmony: Indirect Intercultural...
