Scenario

When creative groups get stuck in consensus paralysis

Our theater company has five core members and we've always made decisions by consensus but lately every creative choice turns into a three-hour discussion where we exhaust all the options and then pick something that feels like the least objectionable compromise. We're all getting frustrated but no one wants to be the person who breaks our democratic process.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A commitment to equality in decision-making has become an obstacle to creative risk-taking and decisive artistic choices.
