Most modern decision-making models-drawn from courts, politics, and the military-are designed to produce winners and losers, not shared understanding or long-term wisdom. In Making Better Decisions Together,

Len Clark presents consensus-seeking as a practical alternative for groups that want to move forward with clarity and trust.

Drawing on Quaker traditions and decades of leadership experience, Clark explains how consensus-seeking works, why it leads to stronger outcomes, and how groups can overcome the common obstacles that arise when trying to use it. He offers clear guidance for navigating disagreement, encouraging full participation, and transforming conflict into collective insight.

This book is designed for families, faith communities, nonprofit boards, government committees, and business teams seeking a better way to make decisions. Accessible and grounded in real-world practice, Making Better Decisions Together shows how groups can replace competition with cooperation-and make choices that reflect both shared values and practical wisdom.
