1. Which one of the six habits that hinder thinking as listed on page 54 of your textbook do you often exhibit? Describe a situation where you exhibited this habit.
I believe the habit that most exhibit is the Face Saving. My addiction to nicotine is on going struggle. I found my self finding excuses to enable that habit in my life. I quit smoking for couple months, but then I began smoking e- cigarette. I rationalize this behavior with the following excuse, “need this to coup with life” but in reality, its just excuse to continue to feed my habit.
2. When solving a problem, do you first ask someone for help or seek the answer on your own? I found my self attempting to solve it with-out seeking other help.
What are some advantages of involving others in problem solving? Involving other had the following advantages;
May better understand the problem then you do
Different perspective of solving that problem
May have more experience then you do
During my my capstone project, I was chosen to be the team leader of our group. Each team member was assign tasks based upon their strength, but tasks that required more detail, were assigned in 2-team members due to the complexity of the problem.
What are some advantages of working alone on a problem? Explain your answer with at least one example. Working alone has the following advantages;
Self-discipline
More focus/not easily distracted
More objective driven
