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.
