Tips for guiding discussion

The moderator should have a high level of understanding and good thinking ability when guiding the discussion. In the meeting, we should be good at asking questions, actively guide, find and put forward problems from different angles and levels, and carry out dialectical thinking, reverse thinking and divergent thinking. We should not only understand problems qualitatively, but also analyze and define them quantitatively. In addition, if necessary, group discussion can be conducted. Each group will appoint a group leader. At that time, the group's opinions will be gathered and the representatives will speak on behalf of the group.

Carlson, an American management expert, believes that the skills of holding a meeting are as follows:

(1) Choose the right topic for the discussion activities, make the participants interested in the topic to be discussed, and have the desire to express their opinions and opinions in front of the public.

(2) Arrange the meeting place so that everyone who comes to the meeting will feel at home and will not be distracted or anxious due to the uncomfortable environment and seats.

(3) As a moderator of the meeting, his duty is to promote the discussion of the meeting, but he should avoid answering the questions of the participants in person, so that all participants can actively think and participate in the discussion.

(4) Focus your attention on valuable issues and guide the meeting to reach the final consensus in the shortest possible time without making the participants feel that the moderator is forcing them.

(5) Grasp and arrange the time, limit the time of each speech, grasp the scope of the meeting discussion, and be alert to one or two sentences that someone says at will at any time to pull the topic out of the scope of the meeting discussion.

(6) Make a comprehensive summary, record or report for the meeting, and implement it to ensure that the matters determined by the meeting can be realized.
