Unsuccessful collaborative meeting - Some participants dominating the meeting while others are unable to contribute - No clear purpose or direction to the meeting and people are lost - People talking at the same time and not listening

Successful collaborative team - Participants are seen as equal and is inclusive - Shared responsibilities amongst staff such as taking the lead for facilitating the meeting, note taking, volunteering for tasks - Participants are prepared for the meeting
