I'm enjoying Many Voices One Song by Ted Rau and Jerry Koch-Gonzalez. https://www.sociocracyforall.org/many-voices-one-song-2/

It is a manual about sociocracy, which is a way to effectively govern organization through consent. I think I will start gathering quotes I enjoy from the book on a thread. Here is the first:

"we create the smallest amount of policy -- enough to guide, avoiding blockages or clashes with other tasks...Policy...is made to free people"

"We call socio-emotional debt the many micro and macro interactions where people experience their needs not being considered. Whether or not that is true is not relevant. Unaddressed, this debt builds up over time and creates more and more interpersonal friction" - from Many Voices One Song by Ted J. Rau and Jerry Koch-Gonzalez.

It's like tech debt, but for social groups. I definitely have experienced this in a team. It gets terrible after a while if it is not resolved.

"The sociocratic organization owns itself." - from Many Voices One Song by Ted J. Rau and Jerry Koch-Gonzalez.

Powerful! Once I hear that, I don't want to be part of an organization if it is owned by anyone. It is kind of strange that it is "normal" for companies to be owned in Western countries.
