About this title

Synopsis

The Essential Guide for Members of California's Public Boards, Town Councils, Commissions, Agency Staff, and Neighborhood Associations. This guide contains tools to manage conflict, meetings and difficult people. The tools come from almost two thousand commissioners, public board members, town council members and public officials attending University of California Extension workshops, and from my thirty years of working with managers in the public and private sector.

About the Author

For thirty years Barry Phegan was managing partner of Meridian Group, a Berkeley, California consulting company specializing in company culture. His book Developing Your Company Culture is available through Amazon. He taught various professional management-related classes throughout the University of California, University Extension. This guide grew from some of those classes. In addition to his earlier career as an architect in Australia, Sweden and Canada, he worked in the USA as a planner, as a manager in local government, and as a member of a city planning commission. He led many public meetings during the contentious times of the civil rights era when violence and handguns made some meetings scary. Barry Phegan has an architecture degree from the University of Sydney, Australia; a Master of Architecture and Urban Design from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri; and a PhD in City and Regional Planning from the University of California, Berkeley, where he also studied management.
