Team Meetings That Meet the Objective: An In-Class Activity Emphasizing Active Participation
Law, Monica
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v26 Sep 2021
The author has written a class activity based on real life experience. After sitting through many years of unproductive and frustrating team meetings, the author decided to incorporate those experiences into a simulated exercise that could be incorporated during classes that include a chapter(s) on teams and /or teamwork. The goal of the activity is to: 1) help students understand the importance of active participation from all team members during meetings and 2) to help students learn how to effectively facilitate the meeting in order to help move the meeting along in an effective way and ultimately meet the objective(s). An in-class chapter discussion about teams and teamwork would lay the groundwork for this in class application. This activity can be used in a variety of Management courses that address teams and teamwork in organizations. The author provides a brief literature review focused on the subject to provide background information regarding teams. Specifically, team meetings, which are the focus of this in class exercise. Then, the author provides the specific directions for implementation of the exercise. Finally, the author provides an instructor guide including discussion questions, points for discussion, and student handouts.
