Knowledge ofthe skills and attitudes of workers under their responsibilityto be priority.

Thispicture changes when you assume responsibilities and giveus that the success of the company or organization goesbeyond our professional knowledge, i.e., that successdepends on a high percentage is the existence of a goodteam of work. Therefore, it becomes necessary to the controlline to assume roles identified by the staff. And to achievethis you must know first hand to each of its employees.
Continuing in the my order of ideas, to list some situations inwhich we interact with the worker to solve a problem.
III.- Identification of location of problem (action of worker):
