Answer 1

C
It is advisable for leaders to have a set of guidelines for effective meeting management. Some
guidelines that should be considered are setting a time frame (time for current and future meetings),
reviewing the progress made (generally done at the beginning of each meeting), establishing ground
rules up front (concerning individual and group discussions), and encouraging equitable participation
(managing the discussions to allow everyone to participate). By setting guidelines and instructions up
front, leaders can help avoid disruptive group practices such as discussion monopolization or a lack of
understanding of when the meeting will be held.
