• Not guide the discussion on one track but rather
help in opening the different layers, issues,
concepts or aspects involved.
• Be the torch bearer of the group discussion.
• Respect the other participants and acknowledge
their presence.
• Not forget to greet them in the beginning.
Tips for Approaching a Topic
• Greet all the participants.
• State the topic.
• Pick up the key words and
dissect/define/interpret them.
• State the related issues or concepts involved.
• See to it that enough light is thrown on the topic.

later
Tips for Proper Closing
• Keep jotting down the points being discussed.

• The opinion, both ‘yes’ and ‘no’ of the candidates, should


be recorded.

• You can try to reach some kind of consensus.

• For certain topics or issues, reaching at consensus may


not be possible. However, if you keep attempting towards
striking a cord of unanimity, it unmistakably reveals that
you are capable at or inclined to working as a tem-player.

• This also exhibits your careful planning on one hand and


attentiveness on the other.
