Internet, etc.

6. Reasoning in the Workplace
Main definition
• In inductive We gather facts to formulate general
reasoning principles.
• In deductive We use the general principles to come
reasoning to logical conclusions.
To have good thinking skills we need to use these two forms of
reasoning in combination with one another.
If we are reasoning properly,
we go though this process to come to the truth.

Strategy 01 - Identify
• Before you can work on
finding solutions to a
situation, you have to be able
to identify the problem.

help you figure out what the
problem is at work.
• Avoid letting your emotions
get the better of you.

journals, manuals, supervisors
and others to gather as much
information about the situation.
• Ask yourself how the situation is
affecting you, and find out if
others have experienced the
problems as well.

to the situation.

they are viable or realistic,
just write them down.

helps you get as many ideas
as possible on the table.

Investigators of last week’s L.A. train wreck that killed 25 people are looking into a report that an engineer blamed for missing a stop signal light may have been distracted by text messaging.
