Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a bad experience working with a group of people to make a decision. Most of us have. Maybe it was a work task force, a school committee, or family members. And things go wrong: roles aren’t clear, timelines extend, or people disagree. Most groups of people do not self-manage well. Group decision-making is especially fraught, perhaps because it brings up issues of power and control.
