Roberta's Rules of Order: Sail Through Meetings for Stellar Results Without the Gavel

Roberta's Rules of Order: Sail Through Meetings for Stellar Results Without the Gavel by Cochran, Alice Collier. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780787964238.

This one-of-a-kind book challenges nonprofit leaders (and anyone who runs meetings) to retire Roberts Rules of Order and adopt a simpler, friendlier, and more effective method for conducting meetings- Robertas Rules of Order . Using traditional sailing ships as a metaphor, meetings and governance expert Alice Collier Cochran helps groups make the journey from the "shore" that represents the culture of Roberts Rules-procedural formality, debate, simple majority rule-to the opposite "shore" of Robertas Rules-informality, dialogue, and decision-making options? In doing so, she helps them to conduct friendlier, more effective meetings and to take the first step toward creating flexible, democratic organizations.
