In this episode Julie looks at the different ways decision making can be effectively approached by groups of people
From voting to consensus and quorums there are a range of different strategies and methods that can be used when people come together that can be utilised to help make sure the decision reached is an effective one and understanding the different strategies is a key aspect for conscious leadership

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A decision reached in the right way is one people will buy into 
• Informal discussion allows everyone to express their views and perspective 
• Voting is effective when there is an agreed voting structure 
• Consensus building can take more time but it leads to higher satisfaction 
• A facilitation approach ensures all voices are heard and can create an inclusive and productive environment
• Quorums can play  crucial role in decision making, prior to decision making the number or percentage needed to be quorum has to be agreed
• Quorums serve as a safeguard ensuring decisions are made by the representative number of members and not by a small subset that doesn’t reflect the whole group

BEST MOMENTS
‘Every decision we are a part of, or exposed to has an impact’
‘Consensus building a powerful process to do but it can take time to do, but everyone buys into the decision’
‘There are many things that affect the decisions that we make’

ABOUT THE HOST
Julie Hogbin
I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.
In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊
I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.
I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.
I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enables the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves), their families and the greater social economy.
I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, a property investor and public speaker
I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem-solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
