Manage U: Effectively Managing Team Conflict The career readiness competencies of oral communication, teamwork/collaboration, leadership, and social intelligence can be applied to deal with team conflicts. Your first step in working to resolve a conflict between group members is to ask a lot of questions. This allows you to get the information you need to determine what the disagreement is about and to identify many possible solutions for resolving the conflict. Next, frame the conflict around behavior, not personalities. Behaviors are more easily changed than someone’s personality. If you established appropriate group norms while forming the group, it is important to encourage team members to follow those norms. Choose your words with care when dealing with a conflict. You want to avoid absolutes such as always or never, and use specific, descriptive words rather than evaluative statements. Finally, it is important to remember that conflict can be productive. Functional conflict can foster new ideas and innovative thinking. Discussion:

I work for a software company. We use several metrics to evaluate new software projects, including increased sales, retention, and revenue. One quality we look for is innovation. This often prompts a discussion of "how do you measure innovation." How do you say that one idea is more or less innovative than another? We often turn to our competitors and say if they aren't doing it then the idea is innovative... but that may also be a sign that the idea is terrible. You may even hear someone say "why can't we be innovate like that company?" As soon as you strive to be like another company, are you still being innovative? I recognize that this post offers more questions than answer. I'm truly curious about your thoughts...
What is innovation? How do you recognize innovation? How do you measure innovation?

Hervis Car Rental in Austin, Texas, has 50 high-performance
Shelby-H Mustangs in its rental fleet. These cars will be in
greater demand than usual during the last weekend in July when the
Central Texas Mustang Club holds its annual rally in Austin. At
times like this, Hervis uses a revenue management system to
determine the optimal number of reservations to have available for
the Shelby-H cars.
Hervis has agreed to have at least 60% of its Shelby-H Mustangs
available for rally attendees at a special rate. Although many of
the rally attendees will request a Saturday and Sunday two-day
package, some attendees may select a Saturday-only or a Sunday-only
reservation. Customers not attending the rally may also request a
Saturday and Sunday two-day package, or make a Saturday-only or
Sunday-only reservation. Thus, six types of reservations are
possible. The cost for each type of reservation is shown

Police inspector advises stubborn teenager caught for repeatedly
breaking MCO, challenges him to do well in studies (VIDEO)
Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 05:58 PM MYT BY ARIF ZIKRI LENGGONG, April 7—
A teenager caught multiple times for violating the Movement Control
Order (MCO) was schooled by a police inspector after the boy’s
mother complained about his stubbornness. Lenggong police station
head Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took it upon himself to advise
the young man. A video of the conversation between Mohd Ropiza and
the 15-year-old boy was recorded and has been circulating on social
media platforms since yesterday. In the one minute and 37 second
video, Ropiza telling-off the youngster that it was not his first
time he had been caught, and ‘offered’ the boy to stay in the
lock-up if he required monitoring to comply with the law. Mohd
Ropiza then advised the teenager to study hard during the MCO, so
he could better himself and help his family, challenging the boy to
further his studies into any university. “Study hard, you’re the
eldest son in your family, haven’t you thought about that? With no
father. The government has asked you to stay at home to read some
books. “Study hard until you succeed so that you can help out your
family not by doing as you please.” He told the boy to listen to
the advice, saying he wanted to see the young man in another five
years and to hear that he had succeeded in furthering his studies.
“Meet me at Balai Lenggong and tell me when you’ve been accepted
into an IPTA, I challenge you,” Ropiza said in the video. The video
was recorded in front of the teen’s house and according to the
Gerik State Chief of Police, Superintendent Ismail Che Isa, no
arrest was made and the inspector was just advising the boy as
requested by his mother. Inspector Mohd Ropiza Hassan took time to
personally speak to the youngster. — Screenshot courtesy of

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2020 KEPALA BATAS:
A group of people violated the movement control order (MCO) when
they were caught drinking outside a temple on Thursday (April
9).
Seberang Prai Utara OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said those
detained were enjoying their alcoholic beverages at the temple
compound near Jalan Kampung Gajah, Butterworth.
"Despite knowing that the government has enforced the MCO, they
chose to ignore the order and loitered outside instead of staying
at home," he told reporters after the special operation.
Asst Comm Noorzainy said the group of seven, including two women,
claimed that they were bored at home and since many shops were
closed, they decided to have a chat while drinking outside the
temple. Earlier at Bagan Lalang, four teenagers were drinking "air
ketum" at a field near Taman Mesra and tried to run away when
police approached them in the operation. The teenagers were
apprehended by police who had them cornered. Asst Comm Noorzainy
said in total, 27 people were arrested for violating the MCO in
various parts of the district. He said the operation was conducted
by a special task force from the district police headquarters.
"Those arrested are aged from 16 to 60," he said. He said from the
27 that were arrested, 23 will be issued compound notices for
violating the MCO. All of them were detained under Regulation 11 of
