Doocracy:

Do what you feel enthusiastic for and integrate it.

1. Do what you want to in order to contribute to yunity
2. While doing it have open senses for resistance you might stir up and advices from other people but dont feel stopped by that if what you do is really a right thing.
3. Check and learn from the consequences of your actions and the criticism you receive from others

Is it relevant?

Autonomous decision making is super relevant for groups because they are the first expression of initiative and of what is alive in us. Only self empowered individuals can form a powerful group or community.

When is it relevant?

Autonomous decision making is important when there is no feedback of the group possible right now.

In deciding autonomous we do not act confirmed on behalf of the group. These autonomous decisions can be later confirmed by the group, then they are validated and integrated by the group.

When do autonomous decisions become autocratic ?

Autonomous decisions become autocratic when they are made by an individual and they are relevant for the group and they are not revisible by the group.

1. Transparency means letting people know what’s happening, in a way that they can get involved if they want, and if not, allows you to proceed knowing they are informed.
2. Communication means inviting feedback before taking action.
3. Reversibility  — The threshold of taking doocratic action is reversibility; that is, only take unilateral action if your action is reversible, and you are happy for others to iterate on or disagree with your decision. Otherwise, wait for feedback and consent.
