Music Theory QuickThink: 

-          Move the upper voices in contrary motion with the bass line for smoothest voice leading.

-          NOTE: Pop and folk music will often move the entire chord up or down in parallel motion.  However, this creates parallel 5ths and octaves, and prevents us from hearing independent parts which is a necessity of acceptable voice leading.
