Is the point of Sociocracy to make everyone in a group happy?
A. Sociocracy is not so much about making decisions and policy that make everyone happy. It is about decisions that everyone can live with the outcome until more information becomes available to make a better decision. Decision-making is part of the “leading” function and is the beginning of the dynamic process of leading-doing measuring. Once you make a decision, that decision is measured and remade if necessary. But until you actually get moving on a decision, you are often basing the decision on hypotheticals for which you have no measurements. Accepting that “you often get more with ‘more or less'” means you can move forward and see what happens. If your decision means you are running into a brick wall that no one foresaw, you can remake the decision.
