Make decisions with true alignment. Move beyond voting to consent-based decision making where everyone can live with the decision.
Consent-Based Decision Making: A decision can proceed if no one has a principled objection to it. The goal is not to make everyone happy, but to ensure no one has a fundamental problem with moving forward.
A principled objection means the decision violates core values or would cause serious harm.
