Much has been made throughout history of the fundamental inability of a "Committee" to perform any basic task, but most particularly of the absolute failure of any amount of committees to carry out the singular function they were actually elected for in the first instance.
History is littered with the glorious failures of committees through the years: - The House committee for Prevention of Un-Amercian Activities did more to further the cause of communism than poor old uncle Joe Stalin could ever do with his purges and gulags and wholesome daddy
image.  More recently our own Dail Committee on Procedure and Privileges could be said to be somewhat less then effective when it came to rulin on "Privileges" which impinged on certain "Procedures" of which the less said the better. Finally and famously (though apocryphal) is
that Committee, which when charged with producing an animal to ferry an eight stone man in funny clothes carrying a whip between two points as quickly as possible, produced a rather lumpy, extremely ill-tempered and positively pedestrian brute, to be forever after associated more with Lawrence of Arabia than Michael Kinane (or whoever you will).
In fairness to the cult of the committee through, it has survived well through the years, in spite of some heroic failures and the reason for its survival, I surmise, is the existence of "The Chair" for all of the aforementioned duds, there have been many many more who have performed their duties ably, efficiently and quietly, under the competent stewardship of the man (or woman) in the chair. 
Not just any old seat may be sat in this chair however, or the consequences may be dire (always remember the camel).  No, the bum is the chair must be possessed of some very noble qualities.  A great deal of that oh so rare commodity, worldly wisdom, is of paramount importance. I don't know where this stuff comes from, but I do know that you know it when you see it.  The corollary also being true in most painful terms!
Another quality often noted in a successful chair is that of a balanced sense of wit and humour - the two being subtly different and equally important.  These quality being present in the chair can help the general body of the committee to chart a route through turbulent waters which invariably are encountered during its working life.  They also ensure that no one person, or the body as a whole, takes themselves that bit too seriously - the damnation of many a well meaning group.
I t goes without saying, but shall none the less be said, that such a utopian unlikelihood of a chair should be filled by a person possessed of , nay consumed by a most wonderful and infectious passion for the work of his committee.  It may not consume his every waking moment,
for there is no fun or joy in that, but it will often invade the subject matter of his dreams - and therein lies the nub.  This man will have vision, a dream, a goal and most importantly he can instil in others some small vestige of this enthusiasm, thus facilitating the ease of derogation of duties - I mean to say he can delegate responsibility without appearing like some kind of hostile sergeant major bullying his troops - yet another common reason for the demise of many a worthy
group of individuals. I submit that these are some, through not necessarily all, of the
