Description

a. Majority vote

In big groups, this is often the most effective way to make a decision.
However, one may lost the interest or the loyalty of the majority who voted
against a decision especially if they feel their point of view was not heard.

b. The Silent Consensus

Some groups aim at unanimous decision. These are good, if genuine, but
they are rarely achieved completely on important issues. Unanimous
agreement is sometimes assumed, when some members have not felt free to
disagree and have kept silent.

c. The Clique This decision is made by the small group who plans
beforehand to get their way. Because they are better organized than those
who disagree, they are often successful on the immediate issues, but they
bring a spirit of rivalry rather than co-operation into the group.
