9/3-9/9 Post 3: Choice


For this weeks choosing of a useful and interesting topic, I decided to go with one from chapter nine that has not already been discussed. What I found interesting and is useful was the concept about decision making particularly on consensus. It includes being open minded and seeking everyone's ideas instead of voting on an idea. More ideas are better than one. With the option to choose, a group can combine ideas to make a great one. In order to do this a group must listen for understanding, have a roundtable discussion and an agreement. It does not include: bargaining, majority or minority rule. This explanation of decision making among a consensus really helped me comprehend the idea. I actually thought it meant that majority rule was the final answer. This among the rest of chapter nine has given me a better understanding and head start to the observing project that we will have to do. With whichever group I choose to observe, I will be able to spot their decision making/problem solving skills or the lack there of.
