Consensus-based decisions are increasingly valued in modern organizational cultures in both Brazil and the USA, reflecting a shift from hierarchical to more democratic workplace structures. In Brazil, this approach aligns with the cultural emphasis on relationships and harmony (jogo de cintura). In the USA, it reflects democratic ideals but can sometimes conflict with efficiency-focused business cultures. Both cultures recognize this model in tech startups, cooperatives, and progressive organizations, though implementation varies based on company size and industry.
