Final answer:

Current work practice problems include systemic issues like work overload and difficult work relationships, with global challenges reflecting longstanding historical inequities, best addressed with anthropological skills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some examples of problems built into current work practices are systemic, endemic, and latent problems; these include work overload, defining managerial roles with ambiguity, difficult work relationships, and conflicts.

When considering global challenges, it's important to understand that they often stem from long-standing historical inequities and are interconnected, suggesting the term 'predicament' might be more suitable than 'problem'.

In any attempt to address these challenges, three anthropological skills useful for mitigating such issues would be ethnographic research to understand the problem within its cultural context, use of cultural relativism to avoid ethnocentrism, and application of cross-cultural comparison to learn from other societies.
