Conflict Management.
Have you ever been in a marathon meeting that never succeeds in addressing the agenda items? 3M conducted a study of over 3,000 people where the topic of unproductive meetings was covered and found that it was the second most important reason why most dislike meetings (Lumen ET AL., 2010, p. 318).
Take some time to read the Chapter 13 Box 13.3, Lousy Meetings, article. Then read the scenario and based on what you have learned and Chapter 12 regarding conflict management and communications styles, and the Learning Activities regarding negotiation, complete your Assignment addressing the checklist items.
Checklist:
Describe the communication style for each character as evidenced by the verbal and non-verbal communications.
At what point was progress on the goal of the meeting subverted? Explain how they could have stayed on track.

Explain how and why negotiation and conflict management strategies might have been successfully applied.
