Building Consensus, Creating Community

By Charles E. Swadley

At the heart of business meetings is making decisions that impact the community. Primarily, we follow the most familiar path outlined in Robert's Rules of Order. However, this book, Building Consensus, Creating Community, aims to challenge the current reliance on Robert's Rules and offer an alternative to build consensus. The contrast is clear. Decision-making is a process. On the one hand, there is a "top-down" approach focusing on winning or losing a motion. On the other hand, the consensus-making process operates from the "bottom-up" perspective incorporating more voices, reducing conflict, and enhancing the nature of being in community.
