Participants in meetings generally exhibit a variety of behavior, many of which are disruptive or dysfunctional. If the other participants in such meetings knew how best to respond to dysfunctional behavior, they presumably could minimize its impact and thereby derive more benefit from the meeting. In this activity, participants will be presented with a number of meeting situations that have reached a critical point critical in that the effectiveness of the meeting could depend on the response to the disruptive behavior.

Group Size: 2 to 6 subgroups of 3 to 4 members each

Time Required: Approximately 1 hour for up to 4 subgroups; 1 ½ hours for 5 to 6 subgroups
