Episode notes
Speak Up In Councils
- Participate fully in councils by sharing contrary views so leaders have all needed information.
- Speak up early; withheld perspectives can make a president's decision an "error" and should be added on rehearing.
Balance Input And Decision
- Limit speakers in difficult council cases to prevent paralysis by discussion.
- Section 102 prescribes 2–6 speakers depending on complexity and never more than six.
Support Council Leadership
- After discussion, unite behind the president's decision even if you personally disagree.
- Aim for consensus or at least public support so the council can move forward together.
