Decision Making Tool the Sluggishness

Decision Making Tool

The sluggishness and irresponsibleness of my fellow co-worker causes problems specifically in the delivery of tasks assigned to him. He is unable to deliver efficient and on-time tasks. Causing this problem further is his habit of coming late for work and spending a lot of office hours for his leisure activities like surfing the Internet and spending his lunchtime leisurely. In view of this problem, my objective is to stop this fellow co-worker from his bad working habits. Having to find a perfect solution to solve the problem that the company experiences from him can provide the company with advantages and benefits to the improvement of professionalism status of the problem fellow co-worker as well. Some possible solutions that can be conducted for my goal are the following.

Open up the problem to the fellow co-worker himself. The advantage to this is that he will be informed of the problem that he causes to the company, as he might be unaware. The disadvantage to this is how the co-worker will handle my honesty to him.

Conduct a one-on-one professionalism and good work habits training. The advantage to this is the knowledge and skills that can learn from the training. The disadvantage on the other hand is that he might be used to being spoon fed with the proper work habits.

Be a good example to him. Demonstrate to him good work habits and if possible show to him the incentives and rewards that I achieved from practicing professionalism at work. The advantage to this is that my fellow co-worker can have motivation at work. The disadvantage on the other hand is that he might have a wrong concept and ask the same incentives and rewards from the management despite of his sluggish performance at work.

From the given solutions, I would select the first one. I believe that with communication with the problem co-worker, he can be awaken of his problem.
