Abstract
Finding solutions to counterproductive workplace issues can be difficult when not recognized early and closely monitored. This activity is competition in the workplace. Team B will briefly describe the background of competition and expose the common events that trigger the problem. By applying critical thinking, we can effectively address the issues and solve the dilemma of Counterproductive Workplace Competition (CWC). Drawing on the workplace experience of five professionals from diverse backgrounds, our intent is to offer real-life examples of work-place competition in today's organizations. Our findings are from a team member personal work experience and online sources.

Once these variables have been closely examined then apply the stages...
