This exercise is the opportunity to analyze and decide on the appropriateness of the action and to determine better ways to solve problems, approach employees and get the job done. This exercise should help in doing it better the next time. As you observe or become more involved in the situations that require problem solving or critical thinking use this exercise to identify the what, who, and when and determine how the actions taken or not taken affected the outcome. You must write up two or more experiences. The summary is to include two parts: 1. Objective data of what occurred and how it occurred: 2. Analysis of what happened and what we could or would have done to make the outcome better.arrow_forward
