Four Governing Principals A circle is semi-autonomous, making policy decisions within its domain. Circles have their own aims and designate functions to their own members. Hierarchy in Sociocracy reflects different levels of work…not control Consent governs policy decision-making Consent means there are no argued and paramount objections to a proposed policy decision If the objection can’t be resolved the proposal doesn’t go forward Not every decision requires consent The connection between two circles A dynamic process by design Organizations must be able to adapt appropriately to changes Double linking allows for heterarchies Selection of People in open discussion to roles & responsibilities Circles select people for roles and responsibilities in open discussion by consent The process is highly affirming Eliminates leadership by someone who is not trusted No winners or losers
