Robert's Rules of Order is great for making decisions collectively when there's more than a small handful of people involved. Rusty's Rules of Order (thanks IWW!). I also have experience with another system called Sociocracy, which is both a structure for holding meetings as well as a neat structure for organizing decision making authority in a decentralized way among people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociocracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociocracy I've used these methods in non-profits, political party meetings, churches, and political activitist groups. However, I've never actually used these in the workplace! The key difference, I imagine, is in in my workplaces, there has always been a single individual or a couple individuals who clearly have the decision-making authority. They make ask for input from a wider group of people, but at the end of the day, they don't care if everyone's voice is heard, they just to make some kind of choice. Outside of the work I do for money, the other projects I'm drawn to are democratic.
