A brief overview of an effective governance and decision-making method for

Sociocracy has been advocated as a management system that distributes
leadership and power throughout the organization.

What do Ecovillages, Intentional Communities, co-ops and non-profits have
in common? Yes, you guessed it. They are by people, for people and for many
of us a ray of hope for our future. Have you ever dreamt of starting or
joining a community or a co-op?

If the answer is yes, you want to meet Diana Leafe Christian. She is the
authority on how to do this with success! She's travelled the world over
several decades and recorded what makes these communities work and what
causes them to fail. She wrote the book on it, actually she wrote two of
them.
