Answer to Question 1

b

a. Incorrect: With an innovative decision-making process, team members should feel comfortable contributing to the conversation, and not offer suggestions only when asked.
b. Correct: Offering ideas with interest and curiosity encourages innovative solutions.
c. Incorrect: In order to encourage everyone to give ideas, group members are asked to not evaluate ideas as they are presented in brainstorming sessions.
d. Incorrect: Even if your initial reaction is that an idea is silly or it has been tried before, by allowing discussion of the idea, you foster a culture of curiosity.

Answer to Question 2

C
It is advisable for leaders to have a set of guidelines for effective meeting management. Some
guidelines that should be considered are setting a time frame (time for current and future meetings),
reviewing the progress made (generally done at the beginning of each meeting), establishing ground
rules up front (concerning individual and group discussions), and encouraging equitable participation
(managing the discussions to allow everyone to participate). By setting guidelines and instructions up
front, leaders can help avoid disruptive group practices such as discussion monopolization or a lack of
understanding of when the meeting will be held.
