One of the biggest complaints among managers is the huge amount of time they have to spend in meetings. Ideally the purpose of meetings is to put everyone's heads together to solve a problem o r make a decision. But far too often they can lead to unproductive, time-wasting conversations and even conflict.
For this homework, think about some recent meetings you've attended where a significant decision had to b e made. Think carefully about how some of the problems regarding group decision making that were discussed in the background readings apply to what you've experienced. Then write a 2 to 3 pages paper addressing the following issues:
Question I. Are all voices equally heard, and is diversity of the group reflected within the feedback?
Question II. Is time spent at the meetings productive, or is a lot of time wasted?
Question III. Are the decisions that are made solid ones? Or do they suffer from problems mentioned in the background materials such as group think?
Question IV. Are ideas expressed a t meetings creative and original, o r are original ideas discouraged?
Question V. Based on what you've described in Questions I - IV above, what kind of group decision-making process would you recommend b e used in meetings you attend? Base your answer on readings from the background materials such a s Sims (2002).
