Answer each of the three questions below.
1. You have read about conflict and negotiation and viewed videos on the topics. Using those, read the scenario and choose the two most desirable alternatives.
Juan is a module team leader; his module consists of four complex and expensive machines and five team members. The work is exacting, and inattention or improper procedures could cause a costly mistake or serious injury. Juan suspects that one of his men is taking drugs on the job, or at least showing up for work under the influence of drugs. Juan feels that he has some strong indications, but no proof.
If you were Juan, which of the following two options might you choose:
a. Confront the member: Say what you suspect, why, and that you are concerned for her/him and for the safety of the rest of the crew.
b. Ask that the suspected offender keep his habit off the job; what s/he does on the job is your business.
c. Not confront the individual right now; it might either turn her/him off or drive the evidence underground.
d. Tell the member that it is illegal and unsafe; if s/he gets caught, you will do everything you can to see that s/he is fired.
e. Keep a close eye on the member to see that s/he is not endangering others.
