Tangentially, when counseling clubs and other non-profits clients seem to reach for Robert's Rules. Robert's Rules is very well marketed but IMO are just awful, clubs tear themselves apart following them, and invariably one or two members expertly wields procedural R'sRs to the detriment of minority opinions and good neighborliness and the club founders. Seek out Thomas Jefferson's Manual for those clubs you'd like to see thrive. It promotes fraternity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson%27s_Manual https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson%27s_Manual
