Assumptions Drama In any organization, a promotion tends to provoke endless conversations about the 'why' and the 'who' of the promotion.

Attitude Drama This scene takes place in a locker room, but these 'sexist and racist' attitudes are found in non-industrial settings as well. Creating the Climate Drama There are many ways to make people feel unwelcome - jokes, posters, graffiti, and other objects. Some people may be unaware of the offense some symbols can cause. Supervisors must be firm in removing objectionable literature or items.

Sabotage Drama Problems are often caused by what people do, as well as what they do not do. Sometimes workers act in collusion to keep another person in the dark, making them look incompetent. Find out why 'Joe' is not giving 'Maria' the information she needs to do her job.

Stereotypes Drama It is difficult to avoid stereotyping as it is everywhere in our culture. The media reinforces stereotypes and attitudes. Every day we are blasted with messages. The problem with stereotypes is that people act on their assumptions, impacting performance, productivity, and promotability.

Differences Drama Whenever diverse people work together, real differences in styles and values can make it difficult to communicate. These differences may be cultural, but may also result from differences in sex, age, religion, marital status, or lifestyles. When people are not sensitive to these differences, they may offend others and interfere with the process of working effectively together. Learn about flexibility, sensitivity; listening, open communication and more...
