Compare and contrast consultative, democratic, and consensus decision making in terms of time, quality, and acceptance.
What will be an ideal response?
Consensus is most time-consuming but produces best decisions and is accepted more by members of the group. Consultative is least time-consuming, but may be less accepted by group members and quality depends of skills of the leader who makes the final decision. The democratic approach may result in poorer decisions due to prematurely closing discussions and lack of commitment from the losing minority. Compared, though, to the consensus approach, the democratic approach is less time-consuming.
