Mini Case

After today’s class, you were approached by a group’s leader asking you to attend their group meeting the same evening. In order to prepare for the meeting, you asked him a few questions and came away from the conversation with the following:

• The group lacks an agenda and is tactic oriented

• The meeting lacks facilitation and the “leader” has a hidden agenda

• The group has unhealthy conflict and an over powering devil’s advocate

• The orientation for the project is verbatim of the old stated problem and the presentation is in 1 week

Use the remaining space and the back of the page to provide your strategic approach to managing this group. Provide your rationale.
