Introduction

Leaders in an organization work to avoid conflict as they believe conflict impacts productivity and performance. HR professionals are often called upon to help manage conflict and can use a variety of techniques to manage it by working to create cooperation within the organization. This project asks you to consider the following tactics for enhancing departmental and interdepartmental cooperation and collaboration.

Tasks

• Identify how you can use integration devices to unite representatives from conflicting departments.
• Analyze the techniques for using confrontation and negotiation to work toward resolving serious interdepartmental disputes.
• Describe how confrontation and negotiation are successful when managers engage in a win-win strategy.
• Evaluate how workplace mediation (also known as group consultation) can be successful in reducing conflict.
• Evaluate how member rotation can be used to enhance collaboration between departments.
• Explain how leaders can work to create a shared mission and establish superordinate goals that foster cooperation among departments.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Submission Details

• Name your file as SU_HRM5090_W5_Project_LastName_FirstName.

• Write a letter from the perspective of a person who lived through an important historical event, innovation, or movement during the 19th or 20th century. Describe that event, innovation, or movement as if you were someone who actually experienced it, and discuss the potential impact of historical events on the future.

Old pictures are a joy to look at, aren’t they? A trip down memory lane just isn’t complete without a glance at those moments of smiling faces, silly candid shots, and priceless memories captured at weddings, births, and holidays. When we examine the past of our own lives, we do so with all of the knowledge and experience we have now. In other words, we’re looking at the past from a future perspective. 

When it comes to the study of history, considering historical events from our own, current perspective can be dangerous, as doing so can lead us to make erroneous decisions and assumptions about the world. By thinking critically about the past and adopting the perspective of those who experienced it, you will be practicing your problem-solving and agility skills, which will help youmake better decisions in this course and your future.

• Essential Skills

Using your agility skill requires examining the world through the lens of multiple personal perspectives while also placing those individual viewpoints in their larger social and historical contexts. Like the women who succeeded in their quest to secure voting rights, access to birth control, and workplace rights, when you are agile you are better able to understand multiple sides of an issue and thus develop a uniquely tailored solution.

In your professional life, you will encounter many situations where you’ll need to evaluate historical context and cause and impact before you make a decision. That might mean trying to decipher why a past business decision was ineffective, considering a patient’s medical history, or looking at the professional successes in your own life so you can replicate your accomplishments in the future. Whatever the situation, your ability to step outside yourself and consider other perspectives is critical to staying agile every day and solving problems personally and professionally.

Skill Application

How does practicing your agility skill set you up for success? In this document, you’ll travel through time to discover why agility is an essential skill for leaders. And, you’ll evaluate situations where a lack of agility has contributed to failure

• Overview

For this assessment, imagine you are a person living through an important historical event, innovation, or movement during the 19th or 20th century—one that emerged to solve a problem or that created problems of its own. Write a letter describing that event, innovation, or movement as if you were someone who actually experienced it. For example, you could write from the perspective of someone who was part of the women’s suffrage movement in the 1910s, a member of the Underground Railroad in the 1850s, or a soldier in the Vietnam War during the Tet Offensive in 1968.

Preparation

Explore a particular historical event, innovation, or movement from the 19th or 20th century that interests you. Refer to the chapter readings in the Resources for options from which you may wish to choose. 

Instructions

Step 1: Describe an historical event, innovation, or movement from the perspective of someone who lived in that time.

• Describe an historical event, innovation, or movement that happened during the 19th or 20th century from the perspective of someone who lived in that time (either a real person or fictionalized).

Step 2: Explain the personal impact of an historical event, innovation, or movement on that person.

• You can also discuss the impact of the historical event, innovation, or movement on the family and/or community of the person.

Step 3: Explain the problem associated with an historical event, innovation, or movement and potential solutions to that problem.

• For example, if you are writing as a member of the Underground Railroad in the mid-19th century, you might discuss your thoughts on addressing the problem of slavery. Similarly, if you are writing as someone who experienced the Great Depression, you might examine the factors that caused this crisis and ways to address such economic problems.

Step 4: Describe the potential impact of an historical event on the future, based on the perspective of someone who lived through that event.

• Reflect on how the event might impact the future. For example, if you are writing as someone experiencing the Cold War, consider how those living at the height of Cold War tensions might have viewed the future.

Step 5: Write coherently with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
