The Chairperson

The Chairperson plays a key role in any meeting. The ideal Chairperson is both a good leader and has the qualities and skills to perform the job. Different situations demand different styles of chairmanship but their are certain skills and qualities that all should demonstrate.
Usually in most cases a chairperson is often chosen without much thought to the qualities and skills of a good chair. So what are these attributes, and how can an effective Chairperson deliver best practice?
You will notice as this blog develops I will post lots of videos and content that I beleive has some fantastic and informative content as well as posting some that really help to identify the importance of the different components required to manage an effective meeting.

  1. I think a good chairperson should be a good listener, speaker, be impartial, objective and approachable.

  2. I am involved in a group that has a couple very strong personalities and I feel that decisions have already been made before they are put to the group. I have been made to feel on the outer because of this.

    Unfortunately the Chairperson seems to agree with them. The video demonstrates how it should be done.

  3. Great Topic! A Chairperson plays a vital role in the execution of an effective meeting. The Chairperson is the one who sets the mood of the meeting, who gives direction and maintains order throughout the process.
