by lori | Jun 4, 2011 | Benefits, FAQ, Fostering, Fostering, Impacts, Learning, Successful Groups

How do self-organizing groups make decisions? (1 of 2)

by lori | Mar 1, 2011 | FAQ, Successful Groups

This week, as I rattled excitedly on about the groups I’m studying right now (as I always do—I recently decided that this flaw is part of my charm), my friend Annie said “But I need to make a decision! How do self-organizing groups make decisions?!” Damn girl, good...
