1. This is what student wrote and i need to reply on this post with resources:Do you think that individuals or groups are better decision makers? Justify your choice.

Decisions
may be made individually or by groups. In order to determine which path
to take individuals must analyze their specific situation and make a
decisions that best fits their needs. For example, advantages of
individuals making decisions is that an action may be completed fairly
quick. This may be imperative when a decision is time sensitive.
However, in a situation when a decision may affect a large group,
individual decision makers may not have everyone best interest in
mind.Additionally, the decision made is based only on the limited amount
of information that the single individual has. On the contrarily,
groups may take longer to make a decision based on peoples opinions and
views. Congruently, people may change their view based on the views of
the group majority. However, in a group atmosphere a decisions may best
fit the situation for all parties involved and may be made on all the
available data to all team members .

2. There are ways to prevent Groupthink in a group and a team,
on the other hand depending on the members in the team there might be
some difference in opinions. Some steps would be to respect each other’s
ideas, because a non-dictatorship shows to the other members in the
group that you value everyone’s opinion if your trying to take on a
leader’s role to get the group started ( Russell, Hawthorne &
Buchak, L. (2015). In addition, helpful ways that I believe that can
prevent Groupthink are listed below:

• Make contributions right away to the team
• Listen to team members, but at the same time adding value rather than not saying anything.
• The group should come up with a plan of action or a timeline.
• Be respectful of other’s opinions.

have been asked to develop a diversity awareness training session for
managers. This will be the first in a series. The goal of this first
session is to introduce the company’s policy regarding diversity and the
importance of having a workplace that embraces diversity and
inclusiveness. Review the examples of learning objectives in the
Writing Good Learning Objectives (I-TECH, 2010) reading, then write two
specific learning objectives for the session and discuss why you think
they will ensure that the training goal is achieved.

Objective 1
By

the end of this training session, participants will improve the

representation of women and minorities at all levels of the organization

and integrate people with disabilities and Veterans by driving talent

acquisition and management practices to achieve results.
Objective 2
Create

an inclusive work environment that fosters creativity and innovation

and promotes colleague engagement through awareness and inclusive

leadership skills training, promoting Work Life Flexibility, and

supporting Employee Resource Groups.
I believe these objectives will

be achieved because it provides a clear guide on how to achieve each

objective

Blanchard and Thacker (2013) state that on-the-job training is
“the most frequently used training method” (p. 225). Have you
experienced any on-the-job training? If so, were any of Gagne-Briggs’
Nine Events incorporated into the training?

Yes. I have gone
through “on the job training” in my previous and current positions. I
surely agree that, it is the most effective teaching method as it gives
the trainee practical experience with the tools and equipment he will be
working with each day. As such, OTJ training has become one of the most
common types of training used in the workplace. This type of training
is often unstructured. On my current role, I was assigned to an
experienced supervisor, who showed me how the job was done. While in the
previous one, I shadowed an incumbent for several shifts, while
learning the steps that make up the job and how to use all of the
required tools.

In both instances, all the nine steps from
Gagne-Briggs were not included at all times. In the first case steps 1-
Gain attention, 2- Inform learners of objectives and 4- Present the
content were incorporated. In the second one, steps 2- Inform learners
of objectives, 4- Present the content, 6 – elicit performance and 7-
provide feedback were integrated.

Overall, OTJ training gave me the opportunity to develop new skills and performed the work expected by my employer.
