With its roots in Quaker consensus decision-making and the feedback loops of engineering, Sociocracy is a successful model for self-governance among equals.

Sociocracy means government by the socios, or community of people who have a social relationship with each other, as opposed to democracy, government by the demos, or mass of people. Hallmarks include consensus decision-making, rather than majority rule, and a circular governance structure whereby power flows both up and down the hierarchy of interrelated semiautonomous workgroups or circles, each circle with its own domain of responsibility.

Also known as Dynamic Governance, Sociocracy builds feedback loops right into the organization's structure, so that each working circle not only is continuously measuring and evaluating its own work, but providing feedback to those circles with which it interacts. This is the dynamic feedback that allows power with, rather than power over or power under.
