Dysfunctional Meeting Culture Analysis

Register to read the introduction… The first factor is my previous statement, the malfunction of the role of the facilitator. The second factor is the seats of the Resumption of Pre-Launch Meeting. In the meeting, inappropriate seats may aggravate the conflict between both sides. In the seats of the resumption meeting, on one hand, Emma Richardson as the facilitator sat in a wrong place, instead, she should sit in the middle of both sides. In this seat, she can observe the situation of meeting more easily, and it was convenient for her the ask questions to both sides. On the other hand, Tony Barren and Allen Roth should sit in the same side, and Ed Pryor and Cory Wu should sit at the other side. Finally, I think the appropriate facilitator of the third meeting should be Richard Fiero, the President of TerraCog. Because Emma Richard seemed to can’t control the situation in the Aerial Pre-Launch Meeting, and in the resumption meeting, the facilitator and mediator should be the people in a higher position: Richard …show more content…
One approach is one-to-one debate. Now Ed Pryor, the vice president of sales represents the voice of sales, however, there are different voice in the department of design and production. For example, Cory Wu, manager of software and firmware design also thinks the cost of producing the new product is too high. Also, Alice Gorga was absent the last meeting, and I do not know his attitude about the problem. Therefore, I think an important step is integrating the opinions inside the party of design and production as the one voice. Particularly, Harold Whistler should play a key role in this job because he is in charge of the design and production department. First he should unify the views inside the group, and then I think Fiero should communicate with him to learn about the idea of the production department. That is the right step to gathering and processing the right

    I attended the Bertha Strong Stroke Simulation event on March 1, 2016, at the Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus held at the Mercado building. I had attended this event in the past thought it would be interesting to compare my experiences. I was surprised to find that my first comparison would be the registration and receipt of materials needed to prepare for the event. It may have been due to familiarity with the process, but the current process seemed more coordinated. The registration process was different; it seems as though the old system had some issues as it has been changed slightly.…

    I was always aware of how court rooms worked and how judges listened to defenders and made decisions shortly after, therefore, I had assumed that a board of supervisors meeting worked the same way. Although, when I attended the Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors, it surprised me how they both were. The meeting started out with a Christian prayer from a reverend and then proceeded with the pledge of allegiance. It shocked me because normally everyone always keeps church separate from the courts and I had considered the board of supervisors a court, so I did not expect something that open. When Chairman Jones started the board meeting by, asking the board members if they had any conflicts of interest, it stuck out the most to show their…

    NA Meeting Reflection

    Upon walking into the NA meeting I attended, which was located at Lutheran Memorial Church in their basement on Erial & Blackwood-Clementon Rd, I felt extremely out of place because I am not familiar with this environment making me a “fish out of water”. The meeting was called Miracles on Monday, which is held from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM every Monday, and I would soon find that the name was very fitting for what takes place within those basement walls on a weekly basis. The normal feelings an addict has attending this meeting for the first time of apprehension, curiosity-not knowing what to expect were not apparent for me because my purpose of being there was different. The one feeling I most likely shared with an addict attending the first time…

    When attending the open meeting I observed that many people throughout the group have both similar different stories about their addiction. When experiencing addiction from what I observed is that when you meet people that have gone through the same challenges as you and actually hearing it always a person to feel more stronger and a feeling like you belong. The fellowship can be a service to those with addiction challenges because from what i have observed these addiction meetings is an open safe environment where no one will be judged. Addiction groups from my observation made me realize that it is one of those times when its comforting for a substance user to not feel alone and that their not crazy because of the things they do when using,…
