In this email we share with you another core principle for successful collaborative decision making. People have different communication styles but often assume others communication and ways of processing are are the same as their own. Understanding and optimizing the use of these differences can create more productive interchanges between individuals or in groups.

CPF’s vision:
A world that works for everyone created by people living and working together in thriving, cooperative, sustainable Communities based on the Highest Good of all life.
It's easy for us to assume that other people do things the same way we do, but in many areas of life, including communication, people have very different styles. Understanding these differences can go a long way to assure that our communications are effective. While there are many systems for assessing communication/personality style that can assist in collaborative decision-making, I have found in more than a decade of consulting in organizations that knowing some basic style differences described in the Meyer- Briggs personality type assessment can be very useful.

“This training, in my opinion, is so needed in our society. I think this is unlimited in its appeal. There is no end. … It could save organizations money, it could help keep married couples together, teenage children from being so frustrated, etc. Everyone wants to be heard and consensus training provides that.” – Tatiana K.
The Next Evolution book, describing how we can create that kind of world, is available both in paperback and can now be downloaded as a .pdf file on the new website at a discounted price. The first chapter can be downloaded for free. Buy book
