How is a salaried man to bless a corporation to grow and raise his personal worth? And, how can a business operator keep his business to stay firm as a rock amidst the rough winds and waves as he contributes to society and provides for the welfare of his staff?

Welcome to our programme series “Musings of the Workplace” and hear Dr Liew as she shares the way to handle difficult situations at the workplace.

Dear friends, what problems did you come across at work lately? Has the problem blown over? If so, how did that come about? Was there anything left unresolved that could turn into a potential risk in time to come?

Well-seasoned workers are familiar to problems cropping up from time to time at workplace. What matters is our attitudes and methods as we attempt in resolving problems.

Now, we invite Dr Liew to speak on three common ways of how problems are analysed and tackled, and discuss which is the most effective way to “resolve” issues.

Let us go through the main points and put them into practice by answering the following questions:

1.   How do you usually solve daily problems that crop up at work? Throw your minds back to three recent cases, go through your methods and ask yourself if your approach had been performative, imperious or systematic.

2.   What positive and negative outcomes of resolving problems have resulted from the various methods based on your past experiences?

3.   Discuss what you have learnt on the different ways to handle problems from Dr Liew’s sharing today. How do you plan to put them to use in your work in future?

I look forward to your sharing. May we sharpen one another and achieve excellence at the workplace.
