How should decisions by consensus be made?
What will be an ideal response?
For a diverse team, it will be nearly impossible to get 100 percent agreement on all of the decisions. Trying to achieve this unreachable goal will lead to frustration and poor productivity for the team. Consensus means finding an option that all team members will support. It does not mean that all team members would select that option as their first choice, although some of them probably would. When making decisions by consensus, everyone on the team is invited to voice an opinion. Some people may be naturally shy and unwilling to speak up. The team leader should note when a team member has not voiced an opinion and invite the individual to speak up. Silence should not be interpreted as agreement-often it is not. Another important aspect in making team decisions is to consider the data carefully. Decisions made based on feelings, where data is ignored, are usually not optimal.
