The Holacracy way is integrative decision-making. Full stop.

Interestingly, the HolacracyOne operating agreement, which I borrowed and repurposed, has a provision to allow for votes to replace IDM at the anchor circle Level, but only for elections and only when the number of members participating in elections is greater than a certain threshold. My view: you shouldn't use shares to decide whose ideas are better. Number of shares is not correlated at all to quality of thinking. So use IDM the way Brian intended.. :-P
