• When there is no agenda, groups often waste time on irrelevant matters.

Responsibilities of Leaders
Start the meeting on time• Do not wait for delay people. This is a mistake for
two reasons:
• You are being discourteous to those who were punctual.
• You are setting a bad precedent for future meetings.
• If the people who arrived on time see you wait latecomers, they will perceive you as a leader who starts meetings late. So they probably will arrive late for the next meeting.

Team Presentations
• SYMPOSIUM:
• A Symposium is a series of brief speeches on a common topic, each usually discussing a different aspect of the topic.
• In some cases, the speaker might be members of a problem-solving group who present their ideas and conclusions to a larger group.
• PANEL DISCUSSION:
• In a panel discussion, a team converses on a topic in front of an audience. A panel is usually made up of three to eight team members and is led by a moderator.
