Maybe that's totally obvious in retrospect, that a looser decision-making rule is another way of saying, a more delegated decision? Let's see: 1. Tell 2. Sell 3. Consult 4. Agree (consensus) 5. Advise 6. Inquire 7. Delegate vs - Do what they are told - convince the person-in-charge - majority vote - Unanimous agreement - Delegation They sort of overlap and they sort of don't. I think the superset of these two lists could be interesting. Also, the 7 levels of delegation is focused on how someone with power can hand off that power, whereas Kaner's list is about different ways a group of people can make a decision and how these ways affect group dynamics.
