Looking at a simple problem under the microscope it will be evident that there are countless appendages writhing around the core. Like in the movies “Analyze This” and “Analyze That,” there was a problem that needed to be solved. This problem originated from the head of a mafia organization and was solved adequately but with an unorthodox method. The similarities between analyzing this problem for the mob and analyzing a problem in a business context, such as unprofessional behavior, are that there should be a procedure full of steps. These steps are concrete and flexible given the analysis phase. Management has the advantage of learning from past problems and mistakes to adapt to future problems. However, this flexibility should become concrete when the problem is analyzed under the microscope. The only way to effectively address a given problem is to ask the right questions and analyze them accordingly. These upcoming questions are used to gain valuable information and offer a clear and concise tool to address the problem. Critical thinking is key to each question in the following paragraphs. Without this tool the business context would be full of unnecessary shortcomings and would not have the logic necessary to ask the right questions. The eight questions represent the steps to identify the problem and provide a clear and concise vision. People can tell when there is a problem by certain signals. The same is true in the corporate environment. Being aware of unmotivated and unproductive workers is a tell-tale sign of problems. With unprofessional behavior the symptoms all point in one direction, and that is disrespect. Nancy Bono expresses her disagreement with "the frequent disrespect in business is troubling." (2006) In the case of sexual harassment the signs could be the amount of male workers conversing with female workers about personal matters. This should not be the case because professional relationships should only be about the business in question. Another sign of an unwanted event comes from the individual's clothing and clothing and the type of attitude they have when wearing those clothing. Seductive clothing should not be allowed in businesses due to the distractions it causes and the loss of time and profit. Nowadays many sales people accentuate their physical features to make a sale but ethically speaking the product should sell itself. In business there should be respect for colleagues, management, other companies and, above all, for yourself.
