ABSTRACT

Committees have become part of the life. Large numbers of people are liable to be caught up in committee meetings from time to time. There being no common membership, each committee was for a time unaware of the existence of the other. To the extent that the members of the committee are aware of the position, they are likely to feel resentful that they are being used as rubber stamps. It may be that, even when there is a definite problem to be solved, calling a committee meeting is not the best way to tackle it. It sometimes happens, for instance, that a person calls a meeting or sets up a committee when he feels tired and reluctant to continue working on his own. Success of a committee often depends on the drive and energy of the person most concerned, usually the Chairman or Secretary, who has to interest the group and make them participate.
