Question 1
Statement: Employee productivity in a company has decreased significantly over the past quarter.
Course of Action:
I. The management should conduct surveys to understand employee concerns.
II. Training programs should be organized to enhance skills.
III. All low-performing employees should be immediately terminated.
Action I is a diagnostic step to understand the root cause of decreased productivity. Action II is a constructive solution to improve performance. Action III is hasty and demotivating - termination should be a last resort after other measures fail. Management Principle: Diagnose → Develop → Decide (in that order).
