" You chair the town&amp;#039;s historical group, and recently several members have joined. One new (and outspoken) member is making it difficult to move projects forward. A few longtime members say they&amp;#039;ll quit unless something is done. How to handle?  1) Explain politely to this new member that he&amp;#039;s part of a group; for projects to move forward, issues will be discussed for a certain amount of time and then a vote will be cast. 2) Tell him that he&amp;#039;s no longer allowed to attend meetings. 3) Let the group hash it out among themselves. The correct answer: (1) As the chairperson of this group, it&amp;#039;s your job to put an end to the newcomer&amp;#039;s delay tactics. While healthy debate should be a welcome part of your process, it sounds like his antics go beyond that. Sit down privately with him and express your gratitude for his involvement and commitment. Then reiterate the rules of order for debating and voting on projects. At the next meeting, remind the group about its rules of order and conduct. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
