Problem Solving
Review the section in your text on problem-solving. As you review, consider the following question:
Do you use a problem-solving process?
Being a supervisor, I use problem-solving on a daily basis. There is always a process that I have to use. The other week I had to figure out the theory that one of my employees was dealing with a certain situation. But from now on I will use the steps that have been given in chapter seven.

I first had to figure out what the problem is. And it was clear that the person on the raft had to transport the animals but cannot have certain animals left alone. The obstacles that I was encountering while doing the activity was that I couldn’t figure out the final outcome. I tried almost everything. And I say almost because if I was able to figure it out then I would have tried everything.
I dealt with trial and error pretty much the entire time. This process was placing the animals one at a time on the raft. The error was when the animal would eat the other. As I was working on this activity I think that hill climbing can come into play as I decided to move one animal I was getting closer and closer to my outcome.
