Discussion Management

Group discussions sometimes get off track because agenda subjects trigger new ideas. Another responsibility of leadership is to keep a discussion focused on the problem or issue that is before the group. To accomplish this, a leader might reinitiate the discussion of relevant issues, ask relevant questions of other members, offer issue-based evaluation, or encourage the effective contribution of others. At times, the shift may have to be more direct as the leader reminds everyone to get back on the topic

Does the topic interest you? Whether writing an essay or a speech, the subject matter needs to be interesting to you. If you are interested in a topic, you will be more enthusiastic about preparing your speech and delivering it. Audiences who sense a speaker's enthusiasm are more likely to become enthusiastic themselves about the topic. How much do you know about the topic? It is always best to write or speak about what you know. It's generally best to pick a topic with which you are familiar. You don't have to be an expert on the subject, but you should be acquainted with the basics. What information is available to you on this topic? You might have some knowledge about a topic that interests you, but if you can't obtain enough information on the subject to develop a speech, you will need to choose another topic. For instance, you might have an interest in the vermiform appendix; however, little is known about the purpose of this organ in the human body. It would be difficult to gather enough information to develop an effective speech on the purpose of the vermiform appendix. (The vermiform appendix is a formal name for the human organ we simply call the appendix. It is a small sac connected to the large intestine). A good place to start gathering information on a topic is online at the Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia generated by readers. Is the topic appropriate? In order for a speech to be effective, it must be appropriate for the situation. For example, if you are asked to give a twenty-minute informative speech on government health care benefits for the elderly, it would not be appropriate to choose a topic that would cause you to go outside those boundaries; consequently, the pitfalls of Social Security would not be an appropriate topic. It is also important to choose a topic that takes into consideration the interests or needs of the audience. Speaking to a room full of teenagers about preparing for retirement would not be appropriate to most members. Can you adequately cover this topic in the allotted time? To be effective, your speech must cover a limited topic. For example, you might choose to do a speech on football. While this topic is narrower than the topic of sports, it is too broad for a ten-minute speech. However, by narrowing the topic, it could become an effective speech. You could speak about a specific football training method, the recent success of your high school football team, or the dangers of dehydration when teams take inadequate water breaks during practice. Once a topic is selected, where do you start to gather the information? That takes us to the next idea for developing the topic.

Consensus

A consensus occurs when all the members agree on a decision. As opposed to Authority Rule and majority rule consensus involves the satisfaction of every member

democratic

A democratic style of leadership requires that a leader provide direction while including all members in the decision-making process. A democratic leader is charged with functioning as a facilitator and a motivator, encouraging and stimulating other members to work together toward a common goal. Democratic leadership may consist of more than one leader. Members of groups led by democratic leaders are generally allowed more participation, with the goal of coming up with original and feasible ideas. As a result, members tend to feel satisfied with their participation and are highly committed to tasks. Democratic leadership is not a good choice, however, when decisions have to be made very quickly. Conferring with a group can delay a decision that needs to immediately be put into operation.

Evaluation

As we discussed earlier, groupthink is a trap that may cause problems for many highly cohesive groups. In order to prevent this from happening, leaders may encourage members to think critically about the group's ideas. A leader may accomplish this by asking members to consider the implications of an idea, clarify statements, summarize their positions, consider alternative perspectives, and think about the standards guiding judgment.

Which of the following are acceptable behaviors for telephone conversations?

Asking to put on hold

Authoritarian

Authoritarian leadership usually involves a single leader who operates as a figure of authority to influence and direct others. The leader assigns tasks, provides directions, resolves conflicts, and determines policies. This style necessitates less interaction between members, with the pattern of communication generally extending from leader to member rather than from member to member. Because authoritarian leadership does not depend on group discussion, decisions can be made very efficiently. The meetings of groups with an authoritarian style of leadership tend to be short

Conflict Management

Conflict Management Conflict is a healthy part of the decision-making process. It is the responsibility of the leadership to ensure that conflict remains productive. A leader must keep disagreements among members focused on the issues being discussed, not on people. Conflict can be kept productive if leaders encourage members to do the following: Express ideas in a respectful manner. Each member should have an opportunity to express his or her thoughts. Respect begets respect. Members should express ideas or criticism without reference to personalities. If a member attacks another member, leaders should redirect the discussion to the issue. Encourage members to respond kindly, even when they are attacked. Kindness has a way of cooling hot tempers. Listen to and respect the ideas of others. Do not simply hear what the members have to say; try to understand their perspectives. Even if members disagree with others' basic premises, they might discover some aspect of the suggestion that can be useful. Emphasize common goals. This strategy is just as important for interpersonal relationships as it is for small groups. Draw attention to the group's goal. Help members to see how their differing ideas or opinions are related to the same objective. Be open to change. Small-group conflicts should strive for a win-win situation. Members should be willing to alter their opinions if necessary. Productive conflicts seek a solution that considers all members and responds to the group goal.

The------ style of leadership uses a hands-off approach, allowing the group to direct itself.

Laissez-faire

Laissez-faire

Laissez-faire is French for "allow to do" or "do nothing." This leadership style follows a relaxed, live-and-let-live model. In the context of small group leadership, it involves a leader who functions in a role that can be quite opposite from that of an authoritarian leader. Laissez-faire leaders require a group to direct itself. The laissez-faire-styled leader is not charged with taking the initiative to order procedures, resolve conflicts, maintain group interaction, or take measures to avoid groupthink. In actuality, a laissez-faire leader must lead in a more hands-off kind of way, attributing most of the failures or successes of a group to the group itself.

Interaction

a leader must prepare members for interaction. Preparation may involve supplying members with information and materials relevant to the meeting. The chairperson of a charity drive might distribute materials that explain the goal for the drive and the history of other successful drives. He or she might also show samples of items that will be given to people who make donations to the drive. A time of personal interaction or an ice-breaker activity might be necessary in order to begin a discussion among members. The leadership might facilitate this by introducing members to one another or initiating conversations unrelated to the group's purpose. An ice-breaker activity designed to help members get to know each other and trust one another would also be effective for this step.
