In our increasingly complex and interdependent society, it is more important than ever that government, nonprofit, and private sector leaders understand the views of those impacted by their decisions.  When there are competing interests and complex problems to solve, it is almost impossible to make necessary decisions without hearing the voices of a full range of stakeholders. In fact, making important decisions without adequate input from the public and other key constituencies can cause significant long-term complications, which can be challenging to repair.
