"The role of beneficial authority is to return function and responsibility to life and to people; if successful no further authority is needed. The role of successful design is to create a self-managed system."

#Sociocracy is a theory of governance that seeks to create psychologically safe environments and productive organizations. It draws on the use of consent, rather than majority voting, in discussion and decision-making by people who have a shared goal or work process.

I took a day off today. It was nice to have some free time today. Here are three good things from the day:
- I made some progress on a family photo album of 2024 and uploaded the pictures to a photo frame. My older son (6 y/o) said he didn't like it...he loved it! .
- Our forsythia bushes are blooming. Here is a picture of one.
- I had a good conversation about incorporating practices from sociocracy in an organization that is not run sociocratically.
