Consider the four categories of sources of workplace violence. As a team, generate additional examples of each source. How likely are each of the possible sources of workplace violence? How severe/important are instances of workplace violence associated with each source? As managers, is there a source that you would focus on first?
a. With your teammates, identify the steps that you would take to manage possible workplace violence associated with each source. Do the actions differ across the sources? From a management perspective, does your team find it useful to categorize workplace violence by source? Why or why not? If not, is there another classification scheme that your team would recommend?
b. Share your assessments regarding frequency and severity of workplace violence for the four sources. With the direction of your instructor, put together the best recommendations from the team presentations. Is there consensus that the source classification scheme is a useful management.
