offer constructive criticism, providing details or examples from your professional experience. According to ASQ.org, the improve feature is to "improve the process by addressing and eliminating the root cause." $($ASQ$.$goc, N$.$D$.)$ With this, we can see that without the previous steps, we would not be able to get into the root cause of our problem. Once we are able to get to the "root cause" we can then truly offer an improvement because we have been able to address and find the root cause.$$

With the improve process, the solution that we come up with can in itself go through a self$-$check process in asking does this option solve our problem or will it create another issue. We could even go back from the previous week with the solution and create a fishbone diagram with our solution at the head and see what adverse consequences could arise from the change proposed.$$

In order to mitigate these issues, we could have a test run. The Webster Dictionary defines a test run as $"$an occurrence in which a product or procedure is tried in order to see if it works correctly." $($Webster Dictionary, N$.$D$.)$ If we can simulate or even take a small sample or work area and see how the new change would affect our problem, we would be able to find out of there are any further negative outcomes.

Ultimately, with a problem, creating teams, understanding your staff can help mitigate issues of miscommunication, giving tasks to team members who could excel in other areas as they may be more interested or more experienced in other parts of the project. Another reason is if we can understand everyone's styles about conflict and team workability, we as the manager will be able to manage and speak to the team in an efficient manner and be able to work past some of the differences and meet everyone on a level playing field.
