Common consent is brilliant

Gaining common consent in an organization is brilliant. It breeds unity, reduces politics, and increases the strength of the organization.

Where common consent is applied members of an organization are asked to either support or oppose the decisions made by the leaders. It puts responsibility on the members so there is more engagement.

When there is total support there is strength. When there is opposition there is opportunity to make things better. Interestingly, organizations that apply common consent have very little internal opposition or politics and are exponentially more effective in accomplishing their mission.

It’s a brilliant way to govern.

It reminds me of the way you run our home, and your seminary class. Principles will never be beat ;)
