The team rules having been established and written on the whiteboard, you decide to move on to a discussion of team assignments. Once again, you decide to use the brainstorming approach. The team begins calling out assignments that they feel will need to be accomplished, and once again, you're writing as fast as you can. You notice that Robin leans over to Adam and whispers something to him. Adam laughs softly, and the brainstorming continues. However, a few minutes later, the same thing occurs. Both times, Robin has initiated the contact with Adam. As the team leader, what is the most appropriate way to handle this situation? Select an option from the choices below.

a Stop the discussion and ask Robin if there is something, she'd like to share with the group instead of just with Adam.

b. Get Robin's attention, point to the rule about no side conversations, but say nothing.

c. Do nothing and talk to Robin privately after the meeting.
