Needs Analysis:
As soon as you sign up to lead a group project, you'll need to establish your leadership role and define your goal.
- Tools for initial meeting: Paper & pen for recorder, large display board or chalkboard for the leader.
- Call a meeting to hold a group brainstorming session where the group will identify the goal or the desired outcome. This will ensure that every member understands the assignment. Ask group members to name every task and tool needed.
- Assign a recorder to take notes.
- Don't try to be too structured during this brainstorming session to give every member an equal voice. Be open to the possibility that one or two people may have several good suggestions, while others may not have any.
- As the team brainstorms, write the ideas on the display board for all to see.
