Document Summary
Identify your purpose: to share information, brainstorm ideas, to evaluate ideas, to make decisions, to create a document, to motivate members. When meetings combined two or more purposes, it"s important to make the purposes explicit. Telling participants how their input will be used clarifies expectations and focuses the conversation. Authoritative (the leader makes the decision alone) Consultative (the leader hears group comments but then makes the decisions alone) Consensual (discussion continues until everyone can buy into the decision) Once you"ve identified your purposes, think about how you can make them happen. Be explicit in your expectations: ask people to read materials in advance, or to bring drafts to the meeting so that collaborative writing can go more quickly. Team meanings called on short notice agendas can be informal, simply listing the topics or goals. Many groups put routine items first because getting agreement will be easy.
