The ABC of Chairmanship

Walter Citrine

'The ABC of Chairmanship' has long been the bible of the Labour movement: the basis on which standing orders have been drafted, arguments resolved and procedure defined. It is frequently quoted in public meetings and referred to in sub-committees. In this reprinted and revised edition, Michael Cannell and Norman Citrine have ensured the essence of the original has been maintained while improving the book’s readability.

This is a book that can be used for all groups and not just for trade unions; it is as handy for Secretaries and lay members as it is for Chairs. It remains an essential pocket book for all attenders at meetings, whether they have to keep order or want to use the procedures effectively and correctly.
