Colleague 1 says that you should find "the best way" to do every job in the company and teach every
employee how to do their job accordingly. Colleague 2 believes that you should consider the employees'
feelings and needs in their jobs. Colleague 2 suggests that you should come up with ways to
acknowledge employees' needs so that they will be more productive. Colleague 3 disagrees with the
others and suggests that you should use proven statistical methods to "crunch the numbers" to get the
answers to your management questions. You, on the other hand, tell your colleagues that they all have

must consider the situation before making this important decision regarding your theoretical approach
