Consensus Decision Making Models
from "Global Leadership with Greg Parry" Hosted by Greg Parry
I have never been a big fan of traditional voting on complex and important decisions. The outcomes of a yes/no vote rarely represent true consensus. When we are serious about leading a healthy and principled organisation and we genuinely want to move things forward it is important to understand the power of genuine consensus. When we reach genuine consensus the team moves forward. Committed, engaged and resolute. How many times have we made a decision based on a simple vote but in practice what we thought represents\ed agreement on a visionary idea was in reality a vote on “Hey, who wants to end this meeting quickly.” 🤷♂️😄 How to Vote ? Participants raise their hand a little differently! 5 fingers 4 fingers 3 fingers 2 fingers 1 finger A fist which obviously means, “I Vote NO!” Remember, strong leadership delivers results. It might sometimes be more pertinent to invest more time to get effective commitment so that you know you can truly achieve your goals. In this podcast we explore this alternative model so that you can use strategies that maximise your performance and get improved results!
