I need help with this assignment.

1 individual differences (IDs) and motivating and improving the performance of others.

Please watch Regina Hartleys TED Talk Why the Best Hire Might Not Have the Perfect Resume , Hartley argues that when given the choice between a job candidate with a perfect resume and one who has fought through difficulty, companies should always give the "scrapper" a chance.

Answer the following questions:

• What do you think scrappers can contribute to organizations and how as a hiring manager you could determine if someone is a scrapper?
• Discuss what you think are the biggest challenges for managers who want to effectively address individual differences.
• Do you think that people can change their personality? Explain your point of view.

2. It is known that the vast majority of technology company employees are white, male, and Asian. For example, Googles U.S. workforce is 61 percent white, 30 percent Asian, 4 percent of two or more races, 3 percent Hispanic, 2 percent black, and 1 percent other. These skewed demographics may be based on patterns and norms in elementary and high school, in addition to the information gap and pipeline problems. Furthermore, organizations may have a systematic problem based on hiring managers beliefs, stereotypes, or unconscious biases. Apply the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach to OB to solve this brief case study.

Step 1: Define the problem(s).

Step 2: Identify causes of the problem(s).

Step 3: Make recommendations for solving the problem(s) you identified.
