CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RED TAPE AND COFFEE BREAK 2

Critical Analysis of Red tape and Coffee Break Case Study

The case analysis involves discussing the most appropriate way to handle the situation as

the manager. Some of the best approaches to handle the situation as the manager include

perception, assumptions, emotion, language, fallacy and logic. Perception merely refers to the

way people perceive things to work to define how they can think. It is how individuals translate

and interpret the experiences they receive. As the manager, I would have perceived the decision

through the facts and statistics which the system analyst provided as he had thoroughly gone

through the system over a long period. This is because the loss of 100 person-hours lost per year

is such a loss to the organization's productivity.

Assuming in any way is central to critical thinking, where people tend to believe that

some of the ideas are obvious, making them comfortable in their present lives. Abuse of coffee

break, which was getting out of hand, seemed normal to the management and the employees.

This is because after getting the information from the system analyst who has the mandate of

monitoring employees, the management took caution of the issue instead of making the matter

urgent (Elder & Paul, 2020). I would not tolerate such assumptions as taking the loss of man-

hours as just a normal thing. Therefore, I would go beyond monitoring the movement of those

under me. In the meetings, I would stand with facts but not assumptions and biasness towards

one side.

Emotions are used mostly as a defense mechanism that puts in place the operating and

thinking barriers. As a manager, I would not allow emotions to take up my mind, as depicted in

the first meetings. In the sessions, one of the managers defended the time wasted by saying,

"after all…" Starting a sentence with such sentiments shows that the manager supports what the

system analyst has just tabled with real facts and statistics.
