leaders are but trusted servants; they do not
govern.

Robert’s Rules of Order Consensus Decision Making
Competitive, win/lose Problem-solving, collaborative
Discussion constrained by motion Multiple concerns and info can be considered
Discussion takes the form of a debate with a win-lose approach.
Discussion involves active listening and sharing information.
Few constraints are placed on the order or frequency of speaking.
Norms limit number of times one asks to speak to ensure that each speaker is fully heard.
Differences resolved by voting on motion.
Differences resolved by discussion. Facilitator identifies areas of agreement and names disagreements to push discussion deeper.
Chair calls for a vote. Facilitator articulates the sense of the discussion, asks if there are other concerns, and proposes a "minute" of the decision.
Winners and losers are identified. Decision belongs to the winners.
Group as a whole is responsible for the decision, and the decision belongs to the group.
Chair's vote can determine the decision when votes are tied.
Facilitator can discern if a minority concerns’ warrant a delay in a decision.
Dissenters' perspectives suppressed in majority vote.
Dissenters' perspectives are embraced and incorporated into decisions.
