Ted Rau is the Program Director of the Sociocracy Academy – the institute dedicated to spreading the ideas and ideals of Sociocracy. Sociocracy is a group governance model used throughout many communities and organizations to make collaborative systems the new normal in non-profits, for-profits, and communities. He’s also the author of the handbooks, Many Voices One Song and Shared Power with Sociocracy. Ted will share proven methods for overcoming the challenges that inevitably arise in intentional communities through the implementation of the common sense principles of Sociocracy for greater collaboration and respect for each member of the group.
