The definition of a committee is the unable, elected by the unwilling, to do the unnecessary. I have even been told that a camel is a horse that was designed by a committee. The problem in most committees is not that they do not have the intellect necessary to solve the problem, but rather they do not have the organizational tools needed such as creative thinking, team building skills, and ways in which to break old habits that cause friction. This course provides guidelines to the participants for making successful group decisions. It emphasizes team play and the important contribution of each individual to the ultimate solution.
Committees can be valuable and productive if the process is controlled.
