Concerns and issues that arise in the work place must be handled professionally. As
management your job is to alleviate any concerns, problems and issues that may compromise
productivity within an orginazation. “The knowledgeable supervisor sees a gripe for what it really is—a
chance to be of help to an employee when the help is most wanted, a golden opportunity to prove to a
worker that his problem is managements problem” T. Pollock, Management Columnist (Apr. 2004).
A successful manager must take into consideration all avenues of approach in making the right
decisions within an orginazation. First, as management, any complaint by an employee should be taken
seriously. Second, listen to the employee then assess any legitimate issues. These issues could have
been brewing up for weeks, months or even years. Third, analyze the situation and the parties who are
being affected. And finally execute a decision and stick with the decision you make.

Communicational skills are important to making key decisions for your management team. To address
any issues as management, an anylys of information should be reviewed. In a article about ethical issues
faced by managers, it states that “Managers act as a link between organizational success and the lives of
the individuals whom they manage”—P.J. Dean (Ethical Issues Faced By managers). I Agree with this
statement because it explains how the right or wrong decision can effect an organization. In

This article describes how rudeness and incivility causes great damage to everyone in the workplace even if it was only intended at a certain person. One professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University states, “Incivility is almost like trapping people inside a fog.” (Gurchiek, 2015, para. 4) In this quote, incivility is explained as something employees are all affected from and are not able to get away from. Moreover, many surveys are presented throughout the article to show how people either lose or quit their jobs because of the rude treatment that they experience in the workplace. Because of those survey results, many experts believe that rude behaviors in the workplace will begin to worsen in the coming years. However, steps to establish an atmosphere of respect and consideration for colleagues are presented at the end of the article to assist with changing that prediction.

Workplaces must comply with federal laws and mandate sexual harassment education at all levels. Implied guidelines should be developed and employees have the right to work in a discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insulting free environment. Employees who feel as though they have been a target of sexual harassment are encouraged to apprise the offending orally or in writing so that behavior is unwelcome, offensive and must stop. Hence, if the employee wishes not to reach out directly to the offending person or disseminated information has not been ineffective, the employee has several channels to report allegations of sexual harassment.
The method of ethical decision making which was developed by Dr. Cathryn A. Baird presented two components contained in all ethical decisions which are; The Four ethical Lenses and the 4+1 Decision process. The Four Ethical Lenses issue claims that different ethical theories and the means in which we tend to approach the situations which form part of our ethical traditions are looked at in four different perspectives. From each perspective there are different values on which to decide whether the action taken is either ethical or not and each lens also lays emphasis on determining whether the decision made is of ethical requirement. In the 4+1 Decision Process, people who are responsible for making final decisions in an organization do it using four specific decision making steps and eventually will end up with one extra decision which gives a chance to reflect. The 4+1 decision process allows the decision makers to give solutions when faced with complicated ethical issues (John Muir Institute for Environmental Studies, 2000).
