Do You Believe Achieving Absolute Consensus
1.) Do you believe achieving absolute consensus is possible, or do most group processes result in achieving only modified consensus in which one or more members are not in complete agreement regarding the decision ultimately reached? Discuss.
I believe that it is possible to achieve absolute consensus. But it may be better off to not have all parties agreeing. To achieve absolute consensus will take time but insisting on it may prove to be counterproductive when there is a need for a quick decision is needed. The practical approach is modified consensus decision making in which the group does not require agreement among all members.

    Team Reflection Week 3 MGT/311

    The definition of a group is “two or more individuals, interacting and interdependent, who have come together to achieve particular objectives” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 277). As a group, you can either work together well, or poorly. Groups can appoint individual members to certain parts of assignments, or individual tasks and then collaborate later together in a group discussion. This can cause functional or dysfunctional conflict. Functional conflict can be worked through even when individuals have different points of view (conflict).
