HOW TO CONDUCT A MEETING

Here’s an old school favorite that feels more relevant now than ever. How to Conduct a Meeting (c.1970) is a vintage educational film that walks viewers through proper procedural protocols, calls to order, and rules of conduct for running an organized meeting. With calm narration and clear demonstrations, it reflects a time when structure, respect, and Robert’s Rules of Order were the backbone of decision-making.

Contrast that with today: modern politics often ignores these principles, devolving into shouting matches, interruptions, and partisan gridlock. Where this film emphasizes accountability, fairness, and respect for the process, too many of today’s leaders seem to embrace chaos for spectacle’s sake. The message is clear—if meetings (and governments) are to serve the people, they must return to the discipline of order and process.

This isn’t just a training reel—it’s a mirror for modern politics, and a reminder of what we’ve lost.
