Scenario

You are the community worker in a local organisation that has been approached by a group of community members. They are concerned with the state government's plan to remove a railway crossing in their area. The group is angry because there will be long disruptions to the traffic on the roads associated with the work and say that they have not received enough information from the state government. You have been asked to facilitate a group meeting to discuss the actions they can take to raise these issues in the public domain. In the meeting, there are two people who appear to want to lead and who keep raising their voices and taking over the conversation.

I. Describe two types of management techniques that you can apply in this meeting.

II. Explain why forming networks and working in partnerships with other concerned citizens may be beneficial for this group.

III. Explain the benefits of using a consensus system rather than a voting decision-making process when voting on the actions that the group will take.
