About this book
In the Chair is a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive guide to becoming the successful chair of any body, whether it's the organization you work for, a community group or charity, or a public or company board. What qualities and skills do you need? How should you approach your group and its members? How should you prepare for and conduct meetings? How do you arrive at decisions and cope with difficult situations and people? The book contains invaluable advice on chairing formal boards and working with chief executives, as well as how to approach special kinds of meetings, including formal and public meetings, conferences, appointment panels, bilingual meetings, and videoconferences.
