What is the definition of a chairperson?
A chairperson, also called chairman, chairwoman, or chair, senior officer of a committee, board, or organization responsible for presiding over its annual general meeting.
The term also refers to the person in charge of meetings in general, as opposed to an attendee or a participant.
→ Do you AGREE or DISAGREE?
Read the list of statements about the chairperson's role and decide whether you agree or disagree.
A chairperson should:
- Finish the meeting on time, even if a decision hasn't been reached.
- Encourage everyone to contribute to the discussion, even if some participants don't want to.
- Let the most confident people dominate the meeting because they probably have the best ideas.
- Follow the agenda and not allow the discussion to go in different directions.
- Stop participants from interrupting each other.
- Allow an antagonistic atmosphere to develop because it makes participants think more clearly and creatively.
