Breaking Robert's Rules Lawrence Susskind and Jeffrey L. Cruikshank.
January, 2006.

Every day, groups of all kinds attempt to reach agreement using Robert's Rules of Order. These arcane rituals—otherwise known as parliamentary procedure—usually produce a victorious majority and a dissatisfied minority that can't wait to bring issues up again until it gets what it wants. Indeed, decisions made by "majority rule" are inherently unstable and usually produce far less satisfying results than if everyone had worked together.

There is an alternative—the Consensus Building Approach.

Breaking Robert's Rules, the new book by CBI Founder Lawrence Susskind and Jeffrey Cruikshank (published by Oxford University Press), spells out how groups of all kinds can use the Consensus Building Approach to achieve fairer, more efficient, more stable, and wiser outcomes.

 

"Revolutionary. The authors provide a new framework that will radically change the way organizations make decisions and resolve conflicts."
—Warren Bennis, University of Southern California and author of On Becoming a Leader
