Welcome to Manager Tools.

Don't use consensus.

This cast answers these questions.

How should I make decisions with my team?

How can I include my team's input?

Should I use consensus? Well, if you want to answer these questions and more, keep listening. Here we go.

You gotta know, it's not very often that you can see a manager tools conference by day and then fill your evenings with a pumpkin festival complete with massive carved pumpkins and glow in the dark adventures.

However, October 1st and 2nd, we'll be back in the Atlanta area.

Our hotel is near Stone Mountain, and we'll be there with our effective manager and

effective communicator conferences.

All of that, while Stone Mountain Parks annual pumpkin festival is in full swing.

So come on out and see us and the pumpkins by registering at manager- Tools dot com forward slash training

i think in my uh... long career i have

i've heard many people tell me that consensus is the way to make decisions that affect your group.

And then they sometimes they go down the path of wisdom of the crowds and if you know

a hundred farmers can guess the weight of a pig and I guess my

people are smart enough that they can figure out how to make a decision how we're

going to move forward on this project right but it's flawed yeah the whole the whole wisdom of the crowd thing like you know eight

people isn't a crowd that math really breaks down yeah consensus is popular because it's inclusive because it sounds

It sounds like not democracy maybe like a Quaker meeting or something.

Well, it sounds good.

I mean, absolutely sounds good.
