MADE Festival: In the Chair

This Event is taking place in the Workstation's Creative Lounge

In the Chair is a practical, up-to-date and comprehensive guide to how to become the successful Chair of any body, whether it’s the organisation you work for, a community group or charity, a public or company Board. What qualities and skills do you need? How should you approach your group and its members? How should you prepare for and conduct meetings? How do you arrive at decisions and cope with difficult situations and people?

Andrew Green offers invaluable advice on chairing formal Boards and working with Chief Executives, as well as how to approach special kinds of meeting, including formal and public meetings, conferences, appointment panels and more.

Andrew M. Green was the librarian at the National Library of Wales and previously at the University of Sheffield. He is a member of numerous bodies including the Society of College, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals Wales (President) and the Welsh Committee of the British Council.

'An excellent guide for those who perform that most under-rated and important of roles: chairing a group.' – Robert Peston, BBC Economics Editor
