Brainstorm
Often the best place to generate ideas is within your company. Innovation does not have to be about revolutionary. It could simply be improving on existing products, services or processes. It could be one simple alteration that could reap any benefits. Brainstorming is used for decision-making to empower employees, those who are on-the-job, live and breathe the process and products. Brainstorming gives management a bigger picture of the business and makes the most of ideas and opportunities.
It could be used to answer question on strategic planning for the future. The results from brainstorming can provide information for subsequent key decision-making on such questions as: Where are now? Where are we going? How do we get there?
Brainstorming is usually done by group and involves the recording of all ideas regarding a particular problem, among others, such as the following:
• The recording of all ideas without judgment
• No critical comments allowed
• Do not ake any decisions about the ideas or how to take the forward until a later session
• Outlandish ideas are welcome
• Impossible and unthinkable ideas are fine
• Think outside the boundaries of the ordinary
• Build on ideas of others
• Quantity of ideas is important
A basic rule of brainstorming is to build on ideas already suggested. The following checklist can help transform an existing idea into a new one:
• Put to other uses? As it is? What if modified?
• Adapt? Is there anything else like this? What does this tell you? Is the past comparable?
• Modify? Give it a new angle? Alter the color, sound, meaning, motion, and shape?
• Magnify? Can anything be added, such as tie, frequency, height, length, strength? Can it be duplicated, multiplied or exaggerated?
• Minimize? Can anything else be taken away? Made smaller? Lowered? Shortened?
• Lightened? Omitted? Broken up?
• Substitute? Different ingredients used? Other materials? Other processes? Other placesw? Other approaches? Other tone of voice? Someone else?
• Rearrange? Swap components? Alter the pattern, sequence or layout? Change the pace or schedule?
• Reverse? Try the opposite? Backwards? Change shoes? Turn tables?
• Cobine? A blend? An ensemble?

Do Not Criticize
Questions that begin with the worlds why and who are very threatening. They suggest placing blame on someone. Questions like the following immediately provoke a defends mechanism, Why did these happen, who were there, who was working that day, why are you late, why is this not done, why is their an error in this report, why weren’t you able to finest? Restate questions that start with what and how. Initiate root cause analysis and understanding of the issue in a none threatening way to gather information. Employ positive connotation in investigative questioning, rather that up front assumption of blame. Ask questions such as how did these occur, how can we improve on you performance, what cause these to happen every time the equipments run, what were the reasons for the delay? It is important to learn how to give and accept criticism. Those who take criticism negatively become defensive, even lash out at people. As a result people feel discourage, and may refrain from contributing opinions again. Taking criticism positively creates room for improvement and continuous learning, to do better in the future. Sharing feedback among one another allows a broader perspective. You uncover blind spots that you may not have seen. An impartial observers’ point of view can you work on improving skills, processes, attitudes, efficiency and productivity, especially if there is a positive reciprocity regarding constructive criticisms.
Resist Groupthink
The stronger the culture, the greater the risk of groupthink. Groupthink is when members strive for unanimity, and do not challenge organization thinking. There is too much reliance on one powerful figure, and the group is the base of their identity. It happens all the time that to avoid conflict in the group, one does not speak up to realistically appraise alternative solutions. Cliques are normal, reminiscent to lunch or meetings not asked to participate. The work environment turns stressful due to tension-filled dialogues if you disagree.
Group cohesiveness can also be shown when everyone agrees to disagree against management. If a threat fro management is felt, a group can stick together to prevent layoffs. This situation backfires on the true intent of teaming, since the group only has one agenda, with the rest left in the back burner. There is collective rationalization that nothing can escape the sanctity and safe haven the group provides.
One way to unblock group cohesiveness is to have anonymous brainstorming. Each idea is written on a piece of paper, without attribution to any names.

Do not Fear the Status Quo
Examples of status quo thinking are: hanging on to familiar programs, situations, services, staff positions, bureaucy, and established procedures. Common expressions are: “We’ve always done it this way; let’s stick with what works; if it isn’t broke why fix it; that’s not my job description; nobody asked you to do this; sticks with you know.” In big companies, typically there is a hierarchical and clearly defined organizational structure. People have strictly delegated authority, position and score. Upper management involves only a few, and the control of the organization rests on these few. They make all the decisions. There is a strong culture of bureaucracy, a heavy reliance on upper management, sometimes even just a single powerful figure in the organization t follow, and who directs all actions. Management at also fear change, which implies additional cost and workload, stress, altered priorities; considerably ore tie effort, and bigger responsibility.
Red tape and bureaucracy are common in government offices where there should be strict adherence to policies, procedures, the law, job accountabilities and responsibilities.

Be Open Minded
Old habits are hard to break. Patterns, the way of being things for long, become so deeply establish that they become an instinctive response. However, it’s a response based only on partial information. We need to be open-minded, avoid being rigid and stubborn, and not allow a firm mindset to cloud our judgment. Instead, we should try to understand other viewpoints, expand on others’ ideas, get out of out own box and have fun. It would then be like be learning something new everyday!
Do not Fear Failure
Fear of authority, reprisal blame, confrontation, rejection, failure. There are managers who only want to hear the good news; they get upset when there’s a problem or bad news. You become afraid to comfort him, paralyzed from communicating problems and even suggestions on how to solve them. You think your boss might perceive this is an unmet expectation, and that you will be appraised as incompetent to do your job independently. You tend to follow rules and not deviate from any process or standards, so that you don’t get reprimanded.
When people have a lot of fear in the workplace, all this becomes bottled up inside; sooner of later there will be a blow-up, a confrontation. It is hard to be suspicious of everyone all the time, to worry constantly about peers talking behind your back, to be blaming others, sneaking around and defending yourself against perceptions. It becomes a big hindrance to productivity, efficiency and creativity when your thoughts are focused on these fears.

You can also ask, “What is the best that could happen if this is the choice that we make? What is the worst that could happen? “Would it that we ake?

Leam The DISC Model Theory
The personal Profile System is based on Willa Moulton Marston’s DISC Model Theory: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.
1. Dominance and Conscientiousness make us see the environment as requiring aggressive or defensive responses. Influence and Steadiness make us see the environment as being favorable and supportive rather than antagonistic.
2. The other significant element that determines behavioral style is how much power a person perceives him/her self to have in an environment. People with Dominance and Influence share a perception of being ore powerful than the conditions in their environment, so that their behavioral strategies have to do with shaping their environment to meet their needs.
3. With Steadiness and Conscientiousness, individuals tend not to perceive themselves as being ore powerful than the environment, so that their strategies are based on working with existing conditions within it.
The DISC Model Theory enables you to understand yourself and others in order to create an environment that ensures greater success. At the same time, you gain appreciation for different behavioral styles. Effective leaders and managers know their styles, recognize the demands of the situation, and adopt communication strategies that best fit those needs. If you know your style, you can capitalize on your strengths, and anticipate and minimize conflict with others.

Socialize and Learn Fro Others
It’s not always easy to get along with everyone at work. With workplace diversity, we all bring varied values, beliefs, attitudes, personalities, styles and culture. Co-worker conflict isn’t always avoidable and can be very disruptive to productivity and efficiency. Much time, effort and energy are then spent for conflict resolution to eliminate an unpleasant working environment, which causes de-motivation and stress. Ideally tie, energy and effort should be focused instead on understanding and resolving the differences for mutually satisfying resolutions. Each individual should be responsible for building strong relationship at work. Getting along with each other means cooperatively, accepting differences, respecting diversity, and hearing everyone’s opinions and ideas in positive manner. Everyone has to do his/her part.
Socializing, telling stories and jokes, sharing personal life, are all a natural part of interaction and must be encouraged. This promotes camaderie, easy communication, healthy respect for differences, and deeper understanding of a other people’s attitudes, beliefs, and values. Such as a development is gained with mutual respect and an awareness of working towards a common goal.
With the advent of partnership and global competition amid cultural diversity, it is a competitive advance to be able to meet the demands of a changing workforce. You can draw on the knowledge and perspectives of everyone; giving you ore alternatives and a selection of skills and strengths. In groups there can be delegation of smaller tasks so the work becomes less daunting. It can be divided according to specialization, and can thus be accomplished in less time and with less effort and money.
A simple guideline to develop mutual respect is acceptance and cooperation, and always stays positive. Do not take assumptions on what your peers are saying to you; if you don’t understand, ask nicely what they mean. What is obvious to you ay not be obvious to another. Come to meetings prepared and on time. Learn to value other people’s tie and efforts. Be approachable and learn to be a team player to facilitate open discussion of ideas. Don’t make suggestive remarks about a person’s religion, race or culture; they may be taken as offensive. Be sensitive to every single issue. Little things, such as not playing your radio too loud or having loud phone conversations, or making sure to refill the copier with paper or toner, are simple courteous actions that preempt irritants. Often enough it’s the little things that add up to building a strong relationship.
We all ay seek the same goal of success, professional growth, status, recognition, job and financial security, but “no man is an island.” Whenever two or more people work together, there is politics. To successfully survive in an integral part of the workplace. Thus we must learn to interpret other’s actions and language, and adapt and adjust accordingly.

In the short-term, cooperating with the boss reduces daily stress, and the conflicts to contend with. Your boss has the power to make a work situation miserable for you and with; you can utilize your time more effectively towards positive growth and creative development, instead of waging competing with his attitude and work style.

Try to understanding it fro your boss’ perspective, why he has to make the decisions, like allocating your work and that of others, and learn from it. Even if you disagree, close observation of someone’s leadership style is always a good learning opportunity if you keep an open mind. At least you are accountable for the mistakes one makes, but has the benefit of lessons learned and of what to avoid.
If your boss looks bad, you also bad. Your performance is key to your boss’ success. Working with him to ensure that it is a win-win relationship, establishing that connection of mutual success, is a good strategic alignment for your career.

Don't Wait too Long to Make decisions
Others ay have ideas, thoughts, opinions that are critical to the problem, which you may have not thought of, or overlooked. Talk with others to gain more information and to clarify your own values, perceptions, line of thinking. The ore information you acquire, the easier to make a more solid, reasoned decision. It is important to have varied options, be able to weigh each alternative, and determine the best course of action. Evaluating the benefits and consequences after weighing all the information will clarify the mission, goals, and values you want to support. In science-based professions and organizations, gathering-data entails research and in-depth analysis, critical study, diagnosis, and hypothesis before arriving at informed decisions.You’ve spent nights lying awake thinking about the pros and cons of each solution. You’ve agonized over all the alternatives and discussed with the team every day for hours, and yet you still can’t come up with a decisions. Sometimes the choices have equal pros and cons that no further discussion can produce a distinctive advantage for one choice or the other. Sometimes you just have to make an intuitive snap decision, and live with it. And Einstein once marked, “Everything should be as simple as possible.”
It isn’t surprising that many people do not like to make decisions. You do everything possible to delay it by gathering ore data, coming up with expanded lists of who else to interview and get opinions from, or worrying about who will be offended by the decisions fro, or worrying about who will be offended by the decision. You ay sometimes even hope the problem will go away. Good leaders have the skill to make the best decisions possible with the best information available in the timeliest manner. Good leaders are quick to decide and take responsibility for their decisions. There are times when expedient decision-making is critical. An example would be when an oil platform is down, and the customer is losing millions of dollars every minute by not being able to produce oil. Do you send a technical team to provide a assistance during hurricane weather? What is the impact of non-support to a big alliance customer? What is its impact on your employees, regarding their safety? The dangers surrounding the decision, the priorities and ramifications will be viewed differently by everyone. As a leader, you must have the integrity to say,” I have made the best decision possible given the facts and circumstances.”
Waiting to long to make decisions will result in missed opportunities. If the group has been discussing and debating resolutions, and have finally agreed on the best solution, then waiting for management to approve the project and the delay in giving the go-ahead to the group takes a toll on the urgency of the moment.
Leaders are expected to be aware of problems in their organizations. Because a critical problem is not recognized early enough, actions or decisions may come too late. Recognition of problems before they escalate is critical management of skill that equates with efficiency, productivity, revenues and cost savings.
Quick decisions allow the management and others to move on to other projects. If the first alternative did not work, you can still have the time to correct it, improve the process and minimize the downtime, instead of wasting of tie. With a no-action approach, some problems may deteriorate, and the current alternative presented may no longer be valid, so that the process has no be repeated.
Some may fear turning vulnerable when making decisions, as it opens up an opportunity for ridicule or criticism from others. There’s little incentive to be decisive if you are humiliated. It takes a long time for people to forget, from you to rise up from where you’ve fallen and prove your worth again.
We need to look at the workers who are waiting for a decision from upper management. Lack of closure or waiting for a decision makes people stressed and anxious. This leads tower productivity and efficiency.
Sometimes delay tactics in making decisions can turn into a strategy. An example would be in real estate, where you could wait for ore offers for you house on sale, select the highest bid, or instigate a price war, all to your advantage. It could also backfire when buyers lose interest because of the delay while other offers are expected.

Gather Enough Data
Others ay have ideas, thoughts, opinions that are critical to the problem, which you may have not thought of, or overlooked.

Use Precedents and Policies
Experiences always provide a frame of reference, a historical understanding og the problem, and help uncover long underlying causes and symptoms that may be applied to the future decisions. We learn through a paradigm gained from the past if certain police and procedures need to be revised to fit current conditions. This will help prevent expending money.Previous situations and cases, hearings, or projects can serve as a template or guideline when undertaking current projects. Trends can be derived for data analysis to indicate the next logical step. You can infer fro past actions in order to predict a behavior, consequence, or need to change for the future.
Learn From Your Mistakes
There is no guarantee that the decision will work. It is not the end of the world. The goal of decision-making is to arrive at the best decision, not necessarily the right one, but the best you can make with all due consideration and evaluation of available information. If a decision is made and it fails, recover and learn fro it. What-could-have-been or an it -would-have-been-nice may only show a sign of weakness or failure. Use the mistake to re-evaluate the information, as well as your opinions, values and perceptions once again.Value of old saying: Fool me once, shame, on you; fool me twice, shame on me. ”Through mistakes we acquire ore knowledge and wisdom, to ensure better chances of success in the future.

A community is more than just a group of buildings. It is rather a group of individuals and families living in a particular locality because of common interests and needs. Buildings only serve the interests of these people.

Smog, overcrowded dwellings, and insurmountable traffic problems have made city living a nerve- wracking experience for many of us. And overcrowded and blighted areas have spawned a host of social problems, ranging from health problems to criminality. Dwelling in slums seems to foster undesirable patterns of behavior. The traditional design of communities was ordered around a focal point.
