The Sociocratic Circle Method

The Sociocratic Circle Method is a governance approach that promotes collaborative decision-making within organizations. It divides the group into smaller circles, each responsible for specific areas, which are linked through a double-linking process to ensure effective communication. Decisions are made using consent—meaning issues are resolved when no one has a significant objection—rather than majority vote. This method encourages equal participation, transparency, and flexibility, fostering a culture of trust and shared responsibility. It aims to balance influence and maintain harmony, allowing organizations to adapt quickly and work more effectively through inclusive, participatory processes.
