I have never thought to dig deep and keep asking why things would happen. now that I have watched this video, I will ask why more often to try and figure out the problem on my own.

TITLE- The 5 Whys
I really like the message behind the five whys. I am guilty of seeing a problem and taking little time to truly understand the root of the problem. I usually devote my time to quickly fixing the problem, and this practice often results in me over looking the actual cause. I will definitely try to implement this practice in the workplace on a regular basis because it will not only help me fix the problem but also avoid running into it again.

I really enjoyed this video! Nobody likes to be questioned numerous times, but obviously it works. Asking someone 'why' five times will break them down until you get to the bottom of the situation, hopefully. At first, people are defensive when they do not want to answer a certain question. But repetition can penetrate their conscious so that they come clean.

When a problem comes up, asking why helps to find the human problem behind the technical fault. Asking why is making a proportional investment in each of the five levels of hierarchy. Asking why at least 5 times gives a way out and is a technique for building an adaptive culture.

I really enjoyed this video. It’s important to ask questions because problems aren’t always what they seem. Asking why 5 times can really insure that you have all the information behind why something happened. Not going deep enough into the problem will not give enough information to understand the problem so it’s important to ask enough questions until you get to the root of the problem.

I like this video. Getting to the root cause of each problem is very important. It is interesting the example that the speaker uses on why the server crashed. By asking why 5 times, got down to the root level of why the server crashed in the first place. If we can get down to the bottom reason, these problems can be prevented for the future. Finding the human problem behind a technical fault is crucial.

Asking why. Well why not? I like this because you find what is going on and more specifically why things are done this way or why you are doing whatever task. Realize this though why can get annoying so you need to watch how you use this and ask it.

The five whys is genius. It really digs deep to get to the dirt under the root of the problem. It reminds me back when we were kids and would ask why a million times before our parents would finally just ignore us. But no, this concept is brilliant. Instead of blaming the server in this scenario, or a server in a restaurant for taking an order incorrectly, it's important to not accuse or ask why once, but ask why a few times to see what the real problem is and how to really fix it.

I need to work on this. I never ask why. I feel like it makes people seem like I am questioning their authority. And I am the youngest person in the office at my work so it is hard for me to be more powerful than them. However, I will remember this when I go forward.

While I find asking why five times extremely annoying, I do understand why it is important. I recently started a new internship and at orientation I was just continuously given information and never give the opportunity to ask questions. When I started my job, it was hard for me to remember the training I had been given so I would ask for help. And while I did not ask why five times, I did ask it once or twice so I could understand what I did wrong, how to correct it and why the correct way was important. I think that there are other ways to get down to the core of it without asking why, but I agree with thevideo that it is important to understand exactly why things work.

I enjoyed this video. The 5 whys allows you to get down to the root of the problem and make corrections without taking up a substantial amount of time. Many problems such as the one described would be thought of as machinery or equipment failure when it really could be corrected by changing managerial tactics. By finding the root cause of the problem, steps can be taken to efficiently correct the problem.

The 5 Whys are good for reevaluating why things fail. Asking why all the way to the source helps distinguish if it is a problem that resulted from an employee or an actually mechanical problem. He gave an good example of how managers make excuses as to why they don't give employees the proper training which is basically saying they don't want to do it. I really enjoyed this video because of it being a perfect way of really getting down to the source of problems with a very simple question of "Why?".

I really enjoyed this video, and it provided very informative information. I will definitely try out the "5 Why's" and hopefully I will receive positive results.

This technique of the 5 whys just sounds like continous in depth questioning. The number 5 seems irrelevant. Actually it sounds like what children do when they are around six. HAHAHA. The point that most computer malfunctions are caused by human malfunctions is true. This will only change when computer program humans.

If you used these steps you will find a mistake you made every time i think. When you were younger you always asked "why' tp everything. Why stop now, keep asking it to learn more.
