KEY 3: The Agenda For each meeting, you need to decide who the most critical people are who need to be there. Without an agenda, you can’t possibly know who should be at the meeting. Consequently, an effective meeting starts with the agenda. Before the meeting decide: what you want to cover, what order you will present each agenda item, and how many minutes you will spend on each one. Get good at letting people know they don’t always have to attend every meeting. You don’t need your lab…

At the time, I had little idea of the significance of it. Ordinance #160713, was introduced with the purpose of amending the Philadelphia Code to “provide that building service employees performing labor under certain building service contracts, receive the prevailing wage and prevailing working conditions.” (Philadelphia City Council "Oct. 6, 2016 Meeting Agenda") The large crowd of union workers and others supporters broke out in cheers and applause upon the bill’s approval. Upon researching…

In 2008 Mark Steyn was on The Agenda with Steve Paikin, to speak about his book “America Alone” and the claims of his Islamophobia. Also on the show were three law students from Osgoode Law who came on the show to argue against the claims made about Islam in Steyn’s book and an excerpt published in Maclean’s magazine. The law students argue that Maclean’s should, either by their own will or by force, publish another article on the subject but with a counter opinion to Steyn’s. In this particular…

The reason I say this is because the lady member feels she can not complete the work because of what’s going on in her personal life. She constantly disrupts and feels the agenda is a joke because the task seems unrealistic. Another person that is playing the dysfunctional role is the older male member because he is constantly rushing the meeting so he could leave and go elsewhere. He was also pushing roles on people when they felt unsure of their task. When it comes to task roles, Joe is the…

Sometimes the best leaders are the ones that sit back and listen to the employees. Obviously you have to make sure the alignment of the meeting is covering your expectations and that you have to make sure your attitude and behaviors towards each employee fits to their needs to have an effective meeting but other than that you can let the other employees really have a say on the agenda. At first I thought this virtual leader was going to be a lot of me telling the employees what to do and how to…

we have agreed to create poll decisions on Facebook group so everyone could choose their available times. After various polls and discussions, we got to select a suitable meeting time to include all members’ participation. It was a good experience trying to use poll decision for meeting times, as it was fast and efficient. I would definitely adopt poll decisions in Facebook for deciding meeting times in a big sized group work in the future. An aspect that I realised which could be improved, was…

of Michael Brown. These cases are widely known due to national coverage, but people are unaware of the smaller cases that predate cases like that in Ferguson. This could be due to the fact that these smaller cases came before media decided to push the agenda of Black lives Matter. In my Mass communication class our teacher, Dr. Roberts argues that the “media is the message.” Basically media control how we…

where strategic decisions are either delayed or missed. 2.1 Define the purpose for, and the objectives of, a meeting A clearly stated purpose describes the key decisions that must be made or actions that must occur at the meeting. The purpose should be clearly stated at the top of the meeting agenda. The objective of a meeting is the intended outcome. An intended outcome from a meeting could be agreeing on a plan, the generation of ideas, decisions made or information communicated. Before…

As mentioned previously, modifying the time from early to late further enhances the combination of a meeting and after-party. More specifically, altering the date and time can make members want to attend the meeting rather than force them; an impression of “ending the week with an enjoyable meeting” rather than “starting the week with a tedious meeting” Although some meeting leaders/facilitators are unappreciative of cell phone use during meetings, putting cell phones to another use could boost…
