Americans advocating freedom, but Americans treat the meeting is serious, the Americans will be less than. When it comes to meet the rules, the world no one better than American rules. They have a thick meeting rules -- "Robert rules" (Robert's Rules of Order). This is the one and only in the world. This written by Henry Martin Robert's "pocket manual of rules of order" (Pocket Manual of Rules of Order) published in 1876, many revised in 2000 tenth edition.
Logical principles behind some detail rules is very interesting. For example, some rules about the move, seconded, oppose and vote is in order to avoid disputes. In principle, now in America Congress, courts and the large and small meetings, in the standard condition, is not allowed. If a person had a different opinion on a motion, how to do? He must first think of is, in accordance with the rules Is it right? And his speech time and what time. Secondly, when he expressed their different views, to the meeting leader to speak, not to speak of opponents disagree. I go to the dialogue between different views of your opponent, is prohibited by the rules.
When the congressional debate is such. That is the debate, different views of the members in a specified time, the name is talking to the presiding speaker or chairman of the committee, not to their opponents to "challenge". His speech time delay time delay, or forced to speak, or when others speak kept interrupting, are not allowed.
Also in the America court, the parties law is not because of direct dialogue, a dialogue will undoubtedly become the quarrel quarrel, the court places. The rules, only lawyers and judges to dialogue, the jury was shown evidence; and the jury in accordance with the rules from first to last "dumb". Give tit for tat between different viewpoints and different interests, is in the rules, indirectly realized.
Technical details such as the rules of procedure, is very important for American such diversification and stressed the importance of individual freedom, equality of all countries, is a necessary condition for the realization of democracy. Otherwise, if the conflict is over, Each sticks to his own view., fighting is awfully, probably never unified resolution, what not to do. Even if can get feasible result, efficiency will be very low. Robert's rules of order, like a good design of the machine, can everything in good order and well arranged to get all opinions expressed, expansion impulse, use rules to suppress their inner interest to seek common ground while reserving differences, and then in accordance with the rules of voting. The design rules and operating procedures, both to protect the democracy, but also to protect the efficiency.
Robert's rules of order is based on the measure of human nature, carefully pondering and design. It is this grasp of detail to perfect the rules, to maximize the efficiency and fairness.
Therefore, a truly mature management, whether social management, economic management, must be on the set based on the accurate grasp of the details on the rules to run. Management to leave without rules and standards, and rules and standards is a perfect performance and exquisite.
We should start learning the "Robert rules" from where?
We say that a rule is the most important, is not to say that the rule is not important what. We can't specify what kind of rules is the best, is absolutely correct, but we must know that we want to pursue what principle, what kind of spirit, these principles and spirit is the essence and meaning of the rules of procedure.
The fundamental principle:
Balance: to protect the people and the rights of people, including the majority of the people, including the opinions of minority people, even every one, even those who did not attend the meeting of the people, and ultimately to protect all of these people is composed of the rights of the whole. It is for hundreds of years, people in constant pursuit of this balance, for the development of the rules of procedure today.
Constraints on the leader's power: all the members of the collective in accordance with the wishes of their elected leaders, and a part of the power to the leader, but at the same time, the collective must remain a part of power, make oneself still can directly control their affairs, avoid the leader's power is too large, to avoid the leader to impose its will on the collective on the head.
The principle of majority: most people will become the general will.
Debate principle: all decisions must be made only after full and free debate negotiations. Everyone has the right to the debate to persuade others to accept your will, even until this will become the general will.
Collective freedom of will: protection of collective self to the maximum extent, the protection to the greatest extent and balance the members of the collective rights, and then, in accordance with their own free will.
Specific principles:
In 1689 the British Parliament appeared a book called "parliament" (Lex Parliamentaria), a list of thirty-five at the time of study, has begun to show our today's many principles and rules of the clue. For example:
At the same time there can be only one issue: when a proposal was put forward, it is the only can discuss issues, you must fix it, or vote agreed to put it aside, then raises a proposal.
The opinion shall take turns been voice: the debate when someone asked to speak, the chairman should ask him who is either point of view, if their views and a spokesman on the contrary, he has the priority (such as some people asked to speak at the same time).
The chairman should invite the vote: must be positive, anti two party were voting, are indispensable. Can't Affirmative vote after vote, found that has reached the amount requested, you don't think it necessary to ask the opposition vote.
Against the assault: must stop itself from issues of personal attack. Prohibition of abuse or sarcastic language.
The current debate must focus on the pending issues: if the spokesman's remarks were independent and issues, and other members have been shown to dislike (such as BOO), speaker statement should be stopped.
Resolution of issues: if a decision problem can be divided into a plurality of small issues, but the members tend to have small problems were discussed, can offer will issue resolution. For example, on the resolution of an election two knights of the two issues were voted.
Change a into the resolution than by a new resolution requires greater efforts. This is in order to avoid the organizational decision making similar attendance changes of such factors may lead to instability.
During a conference, once the meeting of a question made the decision, the same issue, or essentially the same issue, can't talk again, unless there is a special case.
If an issue to do the processing of temporary (disposed of), and there is no final decision, so can't introduce any once through disturbs the meeting for discussion the position of the proposal, whether the new proposal on the original proposal have positive or negative influence.
Blogger Review 1...
When it comes to the meeting, we are so young people in this life really isno less open, some years can be said to be open every day, even is alwaysopen. The conference, what will all run. So there is a saying that "the old society more taxes, new society will be more". To American years, size units also changed several, Americans will be less, not less, and short. In the work of the meeting and so on, are often stood and said, the love talking tofriends is very unfavorable. But if Americans a very casual, not what the rules, that is completely mistaken. When it comes to meet the rules, the world no one better than American rules. They have so a thick meetingrules, "Robert rules" (Robert's Rules of Order), this is the one and only in the world.
The story goes back to 140 years ago, USA during the civil war, in the north of Beth Ford Massachusetts, a young army lieutenant Henry Martin Robert.That day, he was ordered to attend similar to "support the government and cherish the people" activities, chaired a meeting of local church. But thetopic of the meeting is very different. The results, one can imagine, the young age of only 25 officers, this will be in a complete mess. The debate at the meeting was awfully, the result is what resolution was going to reach.This will, open is not open, even worse than not.
This let Robert heart can not put down. Seriously over the graduated fromthe famous West Point USA soldier came up, he vowed, if not find a goodway to the meeting, he no longer meeting.
Seriously study the essence of human wisdom, he and most of the westernphilosophers, that is one of the most difficult by reason of the animal. When differences occur, no matter what is the basis of differences, or in a conflict of interest, or for belief, or for knowledge and experience is different, butonce the differences clearly open to the public, it is very difficult to within a few hours or days by language exchange to achieve a convincing a party.Differences of both sides to find common ground may not exist, but it needs a certain exchange mechanism, otherwise, a clear, the other party couldn't hear, in vain.
See this point, it is not difficult to understand the history of mankind, a smallmeeting "consistent", or is the power from top to bottom, forcing the congregation to accept, or is a party the other party forces overwhelmed.This "agreement" "resolution", in the eyes of Robert such American youth,or contrary to the idea of democracy, not allow different views of the peopleto express their opinions, is not fair. Robert wants to find a meeting rules.
He found, was not a ready-made meeting rules. Even though westernersfrom ancient Greek democracy era began meeting resolution, military and political affairs, however, it was with the original rough, a bit like us toDazhai type rated point, his voice is bigger than the truth effect. Althoughthe British Parliament has a long history of procedure, a set of rules of etiquette, although the house and Senate have America procedure, the court rules of court, but the people themselves are not part of the uniform rules for the meeting. Robert decided to write a.
He started on a variety of existing procedures, explore the program logic,why should such a requirement, if not specified, will produce what result.After several years of efforts, take the essence, the deficiency, he wrote arule. But to get the publishers there, nobody will believe a young officer can write code such rational method. Finally, a publisher gave him very harsh conditions and promised to help him Publishing: first let publishers to get back the cost is Robert's remuneration, in addition, Robert want to buy1000 for congressman, lawyer, Professor protagonist himself. He promised.
So, in February 19, 1876, pocket manual of rules of order of the "Henry Martin Robert" (Pocket Manual of Rules of Order) officially published,immediately sold. By 1915, with the rank of general Robert has published a revised version of the title, officially called "Robert rules". In the meantime,this book written by a young officer meeting rules sold about two million copies, becoming the standard manual American public meeting.
Robert died in 1923. Since then, his family and had participated in thepreparation of the people continued to revise the rules of procedure,technological advances make it suitable for changing. A fifth edition in 19701943, the seventh edition. The new Ninth Edition, published in 1990.
Such "rules of the game", implementation and operation for the concept of democracy, is often determines the success or failure of the importance of.Robert's rules of the content is very detailed, cover and contain everything,some specifically about the presiding chairman rules, some are aimed at meeting the Secretary of the rules, of course a lot is about ordinaryparticipants rules. Some rules are put forward and the expression of dissent, the debate on the rule, there are very important is under the different conditions of voting rules.
Logical principles behind some cumbersome rules is very interesting. For example, some rules about the move, seconded, oppose and vote is in order to avoid disputes. In principle, now in America Congress, courts and the large and small meetings, in the standard condition, is not allowed. If I have a different opinion on a motion, how to do? I must first think of is, in accordance with the rules Is it right? And my speech time, what time is.Second, when I say I, I is the meeting leader to speak, rather than to thedifferent views of the opponent. I go to the dialogue between different viewsof your opponent, is prohibited by the rules.
When the congressional debate is such, that debate, different views of themembers in a specified time, the name is talking to the presiding speaker orchairman of the committee, not to their opponents to "challenge". His speech time delay time delay, or forced to speak, or when others speakkept interrupting, is prohibited by the rules.
Also in the America court, the parties law is not because of direct dialogue,a dialogue will undoubtedly become the quarrel quarrel, the court places.The rules, only lawyers and judges to dialogue, the jury was shown the evidence, and the jury in accordance with the rules from first to last "dumb".Give tit for tat between different viewpoints and different interests, is in therules, indirectly realized.
Such technicalities, is very important for America such diversification and stressed the importance of individual freedom, equality of all countries, is a necessary condition for the realization of democracy. Otherwise,disagreement on each other, Each sticks to his own view., fighting is awfully,probably never unified resolution, what not to do. Even if can get feasible result, efficiency will be very low. But Robert's rules of order, just like a good design of the machine, can everything in good order and well arranged to get all opinions expressed, expand use rules to suppress their inner interest to seek common ground while reserving differences, find the place, and then in accordance with the rules of voting. Rules guarantee the efficiencyof the Democratic process.
Of course, like a good computer and good software, design technology ofRobert rules only an insight into human nature and strive for fairness and efficiency. In the democratic procedure, this set of rules of procedure of theeffect depends on the meeting, the rules of the game respect.
Blogger Review 2...
I believe many people read the "rules of procedure of the commercial press", many people have great inspiration, but also find it hard to understand, don't start application. It is strange, content is the "Robert rule",why the title is not "Robert" three words?
Some of the problems with the relationship between copyright, the book on the basis of English version is not authentic "Robert rules", but with the1893 "Robert rules" slightly modified the derived version, in order to avoid the copyright problem, the name had to omit. This is not the key, the key isthe 1893 version ah, too old. In fact, the sons of Robert has been old Robert this glorious career inspired, 130 years has not stopped in themodification and perfection of this set of rules, every other period of time will be a new version. A latest version is the 2000 tenth edition. The contentshave been greatly enriched, for each concept, have accurate definition,time to operation, will not be ready to accept either course of confusion, canbetter understand the rules behind itself and rules of philosophy. Only to see such a book, can understand, can see through, to quench their thirst.
Now, Century Publishing Group Gezhi publishing house has finally launched the "Robert rule" the tenth edition of the Chinese version, finally solved thepeople "cannot read, with problems can not". This is a Book (consultation,decision-making) completely manual meeting "". I believe we will be seeingbecome enlightened at once, itch for a try. Let us in practice to find problems, to promote the China meeting to efficient, fair, decent, orderlydevelopment and make unremitting efforts!
Blogger Review 3...
"Robert" is actually a trivial to the limits of the rules of procedure of the reference books, but also is one of the most incisive story books, as if these restrictions and fetters are for the expression of absolute truth, to participate in the formulation of readers, the everywhere displays the brilliance of mind:
1 rules of right superior results are correct;
Rules of right greater than the correct results, as long as the rule is correct even if the result is wrong and change of hope, but if the rules are not wrong. Rules of right is not so easy to judge, multiple testing needs of gifted keen thinking and practice, but the results are correct is very natural. So people are more inclined to believe those identified. The "rules" that after the quasi regular practice correct (not completely correct rules, things are changing).
2 the majority and minority rights conference;
The purpose of the meeting is to get to a particular organization or group to maximize the effectiveness of things through discussion, so that the principle relates to vote should be voted by the majority. Most people's rights and interests on behalf of the organization or group interests. According to the different subjects have different voting limit to ensure implementation, this benefits the most big for example, hark back to a topic needs 2/3 vote etc.. However, the rules can not be ignored in the minority, most can debate needs to be both a full debate can vote, full debate a guarantee from a few sound can be conveyed, which may change the voting results, for example, when a subject after full discussion, a few ideas into most people's idea, fully demonstrated the benefit maximization.
The 3 rule is dead, people are living;
"Rules" principle is to rely on the rules fully, using rules of interests. However, everything is not all regularization, a set of rules to completely solve everything is impossible, so the "rules" itself is self modified, such as in issue process after the vote is to suspend the rules, but the self modification and self learning is totally dependent on and follow the rules.
