  8. Business Procedures • How to conduct a meeting: • When conducing a business meeting, a member makes a motion to move an idea into action and before further conversation can be taken, this motion must be seconded. • During the debate, of a motion, a person must get proper recognition before standing up to speak, if not that individual will be out of order.

  9. Business Procedures • Continue conducing a meeting: • During a meeting, when the agenda (items to be discussed) addresses “new business” members then can introduce ideas to the group. • When members vote “Aye” or “no” this type is known as voice voting. • When a “motion is carried” and a member ask for a “division of the house” this means for a revote to be given.

  10. Business Procedures • Continue conducing a meeting: • Simple majority is when more than half of the members are in agreement on a issue. Example: 50 people vote and 26 are in favor for the motion. • Identifying concerns during a business meeting is when members discuss the criteria for a project or event that they want to do.

  11. Leadership Qualities • Characteristics of individuals in groups: • Blocker: a person who disagrees with every idea given or gives a reason why the idea would not work. • Dominator: a person who takes over and insist that their idea is the best. • Recognition seeker: a person who works hard for a group and then in return makes comments like “my ideas helped us win last year.”
