Who decides who decides? How to start a group so everyone can have a voice

<p>So many groups form. And so many groups fade. What distinguishes those groups that grow and flourish from those that fade and fail? The success factors are well-studied even though the lessons learned hardly make it into the design of those who start groups. That makes sense -- groups form because people feel the urgency for change in an area of their attention not because they are experts in how to start a group. With intentional processes we can establish an inclusive group culture early on to grow and flourish without governance troubles getting in the way - keeping our eyes on our shared purpose. This book offers a step-by-step process of how to start a self-managed group in three meetings. </p><p><br></p><p>The processes in this book are based on tools and principles from sociocracy a consent-based decentralized governance system that supports every voice to be considered and valued while allowing groups to work efficiently towards the shared purpose. </p><p><br></p>
