Description

This book is the only compact, inexpensive guide for achieving the effective practice of consensus It explains how the 'leader as brain, employees as body' model is disappearing, as more and more organisations are realising that sustained change comes from people who are personally committed to a future that they have helped create. Key features Packed with practical tips and tools, Consensus Through Conversation offers a minimum of theoretical background, focusing instead on the result-producing actions that readers can take to reach consensus in their everyday decision-making environments For facilitators charged with getting groups to fruitful resolution on important issues, Consensus Through Conversation offers a handy reference readers can turn to in their efforts build both agreement and commitment on high-stakes issues
