What is one of the benefits of allowing ideas from all members in a committee?

Allowing ideas from all members in a committee adds legitimacy to the decisions made because it fosters an environment of inclusiveness and collaboration. When every member has an opportunity to contribute their thoughts and perspectives, it enhances the collective ownership of the decisions arrived at. This shared input often leads to solutions that are more thoroughly vetted and accepted by the group, increasing the likelihood that committee members will support and carry out the decisions.

Inclusivity also helps to bring diverse viewpoints to the table, which can lead to better problem-solving and innovation. When members feel their voices are heard, they are more likely to commit to the group's outcomes, reinforcing the legitimacy of the decision-making process.

In contrast, rapid decision-making, the need for a facilitator, and agenda simplification do not necessarily result from member inclusiveness. While these aspects are important, they are not directly linked to the legitimacy that comes from a more democratic decision-making process.
