A few days ago, we ran a 2-hour live training session for the members of our Free facilitation community, where we helped people understand how groups make decisions. During this session, we also gave some tangible tips on how facilitators and leaders can help a team through the most difficult parts of the decision-making process.
Today we're sharing with you a short clip from that session where we walk you through the dynamics of group decision-making using a very simple framework.
