How you would manage such a person and encourage them to approach you instead of other members of management. Triangulation in the workplace more often than not triggers unintended consequences. Direct communication is therefore recommended to prevent such consequences. To encourage employees to approach me instead of other members of management, I would put several measures in place. Firstly, my department would have an open-door policy where they can walk in and talk about matters at hand fearlessly. Secondly, during orientation, I would encourage employees to address issues and complaints directly as opposed to discussing it with other people first. Thirdly, I would also give feedback to the intended persons instead of having feedback make rounds. Importantly, I would also create structured opportunities for real dialogues within the organization. I would also strive to find out why employees were making triangulations instead of approaching me directly. Lastly, I would organize a communication workshop that would refresh employee skills of workplace communication as well as sensitize them on the consequences of triangulation (Gee & Gee, 2011). Describe similar conflicts you have witnessed in your own work experience and share information as to how the problem was resolved. I have participated in triangulation in the past. The work environment did not take complaints and suggestions positively, therefore the only way to let management know was through triangulation such that the information cannot be traced to a specific employee. Another instance is when a colleague at a company I worked for could not address the manager directly since she claimed he had harassed her sexually. In the first scenario, the triangulation problem should have been resolved by the management investigating why information reached them through triangulation. Since employees were not ready to be fired or bullied for pointing out issues, the management should have stepped in by establishing better communication structures. In the second scenario, the sexual harassment matter should have been dealt with first by the human resource department. Once that matter is put to rest, then the manager and employee should find an amicable way to communicate and especially the systems put in place in the workplace. Reference Gee, V., & Gee, S.
