Leadership Skills Worksheet: Group Decisions
Leader's tip (Vote or agree?): Vote: a quick choice among options — the class trip, a team name, one of two dates. The choice with the most votes wins. Consensus: decisions everyone must follow or act on — team rules, sharing the work, a code of conduct. Majority = more than half: of 30 votes it is 16; of 25 votes it is 13. Before a vote, make sure all options are clear.
