Assignment:
Teamwork is an essential part of any public safety administration. A problem solving culture is making sure that everyone is capable of solving problems as a team. This will ensure that the organization runs smoothly, changing specific behaviors, practices and can face any problems that come along and anticipating problems that may arise. It can also mitigate many issues that face today's public safety administrations. A culture where problems are openly discussed, especially when the solutions aren't yet apparent, or people disagree on the right course of action. A culture where the important issues are taken on, even in the face of risk and uncertainty. A culture where the people closest to the problems feel they can engage others in understanding them and working through them together (Cambridge Leadership Group, 2018). Giving individuals responsibilities that involve working with their coworkers creates bonds and increases communication between departments and/or agencies. As a leader, one must identify causes and sift through data to make sure that specific problems are identified. He/she must also define the boundaries of the problem, which stakeholders are affected, and if this problem is likely to reemerge, how to deal with it the future.
