Tip:
As a professional developer, you will take on many roles. If you are asked to lead a group or committee:
- Be prepared
- Establish ground rules to your group e.g. respect others' opinions
- Encourage discussion
- Outline your objectives and agenda
- Check with a knowledgeable person to give you ideas and feedback
- Don't interrupt
- Listen to the speaker
- Let others share their opinions and ideas
- Don't overpower the discussion
- Present material that will capture your audience's attention and is relevant to them
- Ask thought-provoking questions
- Listen to your participants
- Let them talk while you interject at appropriate times to focus/stimulate the discussion
