Committees can be made more effective by ensuring that they have clear objectives and goals, and that they are given adequate resources to accomplish those goals. Additionally, committees should be composed of individuals with different skills and perspectives, in order to ensure that all viewpoints are taken into consideration. The skills that committees need to acquire or develop include effective communication, active listening, problem-solving, decision-making, and conflict resolution. Committees should also avoid acquiring or developing skills that are not relevant to their objectives, as this can lead to confusion and inefficiency.
