Consensus Building: Keys to Success – (PDF/EPUB Version)

This report describes the various levels of consensus that can be achieved, some misunderstandings about what consensus means, and the fact that consensus is based on trust and shared vision. It details general techniques for building consensus and provides specific guidance when issues are professional or become personal.
