Repying to Consensus Decision-making..

One of our associates, Tom Kayzer who wrote, ' Mining for Group Gold ' shared
with us his research that the statement of consensus decision making that
includes 'can live with it' lets people off the hook and is too soft.

When teaching facilitating skills, we suggest a definition which is "Consensus
means that each group is willing to support it." Then we spend time bringing
clarity to what support looks like in terms of behaviours.
