I was looking for a Robert's Rules of Order that was simple to understand but only covered the rules concerning running a meeting. You may be surprised or not about the number of people, who don't know how to run a meeting according to Robert's Rules of Order but most easy to understand Robert's Rules of Order Books cover a lot of things that are not needed for a meeting. This book is easy to understand and only covers those common issues that are encounted in a meeting like, Roles of Presiding Officers, Quorum, Standard Order of Business, Agenda and Adjournment which is all most people need to know. It is easy to understand and you can find your answers reasonably fast. I would recommend this book very highly for those individuals, who have difficulty unberstanding Robert's Rules of Order when it comes to conducting a meeting.Read full review
I expected a long, potentially boring book of orderly procedures to run meetings as fairly and properly as possible for people not prone to agreeing, as happens in Tenants Associations and other groups. The words "IN BRIEF" got my attention. True, this is not the end-all version---get the full 'Robert's Rules of Order' in latest edition if you want every detail, but this "IN BRIEF" book answers many questions and even explains the odd addressing of speakers in government meetings in terms like "the gentleman from Nevada" and addressing others in the third party when they are sitting 5 feet away. (Keep it impersonal.) The book is intentionally organized for the amount of time you have to read it and what you want to know. It's smaller in size, easy to read and understand. For my group it has been simple and straight forward enough to handle translation into multiple other languages well. It's been helpful and I'm pleased with the purchase.Read full review
Great buy and so easy to understand. It tell you step by step how to run a meeting. What to do and not to do. It is a simple introduction and overview to meeting rules.
