1. When thinking about the organization where you work (or previously worked), what would you say is the level of participatory management typically used? Discuss specific examples for which this style of management proved to be effective, as well as examples for which it proved to be ineffective. Why was it effective or ineffective?

2. Do you believe achieving absolute consensus is possible, or do most group processes result in ac hieving only modified consensus in which one or more members are not in complete agreement r egarding the decision ultimately reached? Discuss.

3. Do you agree with the authors that a directive decision can and should be made in a fair and objective manner, or do you believe any decision that a manager makes without consulting those who will be affected is inherently subjective and potentially harsh? Discuss. case
