Phenomenon: Meetings with and without senior leadership

Meeting conduct with and without senior leadership would be a good candidate for study in my work environment. The change in participant attitude and willingness to volunteer for more (post-meeting) appears to rise when senior leadership is active in a meeting. This phenomenon would not only observe volunteerism attitude in these meetings but would then observe follow-on meeting conduct when senior leadership is not present. Process analysis (Cooper & Schindler, 2014) is something that often occurs after meetings with senior leadership, so an observation study would reveal a process attached to this type of meeting. Behavioral observations of these meetings would be recorded with focus on extralinguistic behavior that can show how the four areas of activity (vocal, temporal, interaction, verbal stylistic) (Cooper & Schindler, 2014) differ between the meetings. Because of a large number of these meetings occurring, this could provide an opportunity for multiple simple observations across different teams. The information that can be retrieved could set the tone for how interactions with leadership affect the actual conduct of a meeting. The differences in meeting conduct may show opportunities for productivity increase (or not). The difference may also provide an example of consistent or inconsistent meeting methodology throughout the organization. A major piece of information that this observational study could provide is the level of effectiveness each team has with and without leadership involvement. So, between the two types of meetings (with or without senior leadership), some of the acts that would be measured are:

Open acceptance of responsibility for an action

Documented decisions supporting leadership

Document associated process

Timing of meeting

Attention (actual looks of interest or boredom or bewilderment) of participants for each meeting

Verbal interaction with senior leadership/verbal interaction without
