More DescriptionThe author was an attorney when he first wrote this book, and he knows that knowledge of just nine motions and the process of passing a resolution will cover almost all the parliamentary procedure encountered in normal meetings. This manual has been well used and found especially useful in many organizations. One of the many letters received by the author was from J. A. McGeehan, who wrote this book was used by the ASTM-HDEO panel, the group developing certain new engine oil categories for the United States of America. McGeehan said that meetings ranged up to 120 business members from across the U.S., and that as a result of his group using this booklet, "we now run a more efficient meeting with all the member having a clear understanding of the [parliamentary] process." One reason Ted wrote this book was because too many presidents and board members of the corporations he formed failed to truly understand parliamentary procedure. It's easy to learn. Additionally, far too many presidents did not know how to run a good meeting. Ted studied the dynamics of the Fortune 500 companies in his Masters of Business Administration program and learned how to run a good meeting. It's not hard to teach leaders how to make their meetings efficient, effective, and enjoyable when you apply the rules used by the leaders of the Fortune 500 corporations.
