will work.

INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION MAKING

Every group has to decide at one time or another, and all the members have to
commit to choosing the best preference available.

The following are the different types of involvement in making decisions:

1. CONSENSUS OR AGREEMENT
involves compromising various possibilities after all opinions have been
heard.

2. MAJORITY
voting is considered the most effective way to make a decision.

3. MINORITY
is not consciously organized, but a few powerful personalities dominate the
group, often unconsciously.

4. SILENT CONSENSUS
-leads to unanimous decisions -rarely applied when tackling important
issues.

5. CLIQUE
is a small group whose members plan to get their way in decision-making

6. HANDCLASP
happens when one person makes a suggestion, and another commends it.

7. ONE-PERSON DECISION
is quickly made, but later, when the decider needs free or voluntary support
from others to implement the decision, he/she might find trouble getting it.

8. PLOP
occurs when a group decides by not deciding at all.
