Tricky workplace situation handled
By this mentor in various human skills
1
- Back in my time in the Singapore military, I did not use a goal oriented approach when providing instructions to my platoon, which resulting in our exercise going awry. I had instead used a very frustrated an haphazard method of communication which resulted and issues and conflicts within the platoon. As we were all fatigued we were not able to think rationally and could not arrive at a proper decision. As a leader I should've explained the logic and rationale behind the decisions made and convey to people the benefits of the decision going forward to have a more united approach

- As a consultant I am in an environment where critical thinking and problem solving skills are a must have, and I am surrounded by people always looking sharpen their abilities. I have definitely seen a stark contrast from my time at McKinsey in my ability to problem solve through analysis and diagnosis, and have seen the output/ outcome in my client/ project work.

- People have different approaches to critical thinking for problem solving. Depending on the problem, some people may instill frameworks, others may use more unorthodox/ creative approaches. I personally was able to develop my skills better through playing chess - it gave me an opportunity to step back and view the problem from a wider lens to see all the possible moves. I would always define a problem and have a high level definition of success- what would I consider as problem solved? A hypothesis. and work towards that, to either prove/ disprove. There is no harm in going wrong, as long as you are adaptable and able to pivot. Course corrections and reiterations are always part of the process.
