TPO-43 - Independent Writing Task

-Interrupt and correct the mistake right away
-Wait until the class or meeting is over and the people are gone, and then talk to the teacher or meeting leade
-Say nothing
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Whether to correct a teacher or a meeting leader in a meeting is really an awkward question. Either one corrects the leader of the meeting and runs the risk of embarrassing the leader or one does not correct the leader and takes the risk of not having the right information in the meeting. In my opinion, the best way to respond to this situation is to interrupt and correct the mistake right away because of the following reasons.
First, it might be possible that the wrong information will have a serious effect on the action following the meeting. For example, if a team is discussing the actions required before an event (say a sports game), if the leader says the time of the event wrong, then the length of time to arrange the event would be either overestimated or underestimated. In this case, interrupt and correct immediately will prevent the team coming up with a wrong schedule for game arrangement.
Second, the immediate action of correction might create an environment of openness, which might further contribute to the success of the team. It is said that in the successful team, the quality of openness to discussion is often viewed valuable. Because it allows team members to have conversation on a topic genuinely and directly to the point. With open discussion, the team can have a plan which has been well-considered.
Some will worry that if we try to correct the teacher or the leader in the meeting, we will be seen as disrespectful. While this might be the case, the correction does not necessarily mean to rudeness. We can talk to leader of the meeting politely, for example, "Sorry, I do not mean to be rude, but the date of the event seems to be wrong. It is on the 23rd of March".
To conclude, at the time the teacher or the leader say something wrong in the meeting, I do think the best way is to interrupt and correct it instantly. The promptness might prevent the group from developing wrong actions to a topic and could promote the character of openness in a team. The successfulness of a team is through the effectiveness and responsiveness to a problem or an action, not through obedience to the leader.
