What term refers to the rules about how meetings are run, how participants interact, and what behavior is acceptable?

• A. Harassment
• B. Ground rules (meeting)
• C. Ghost employee
• D. High-performance team

Answer: (B)

Ground rules for meetings are the agreed-upon norms that specify how the meeting will run, how participants interact, and what behavior is acceptable. They set expectations for speaking order, how decisions are made, how to handle interruptions, time limits, and what language or conduct is appropriate. This creates a predictable, respectful environment that helps discussions stay productive and inclusive. The other terms refer to different concepts—harassment is a form of misconduct, a ghost employee is a payroll issue, and a high-performance team describes a team’s effectiveness, not the rules governing meeting conduct.
