=== Management structure ===

Each department was responsible for its own decisions.<ref name=Mgmt>[http://www.findhorn.org/aboutus/faq/#community FAQ: Decision-making] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111227092003/http://www.findhorn.org/aboutus/faq/ |date=27 December 2011 }}. Retrieved 18 December 2011</ref> There was an 11-person management team which made "decisions which affect the organisation as a whole".<ref name=Mgmt/>  The management team consulted with the council, which consisted of approximately 40 "committed members" who "meet regularly to discuss issues and participate in team-building activities".<ref name=Mgmt/>  The management team was "responsible to the Trustees of the Foundation".  The trustees met four times a year.<ref name=Mgmt/>

Decisions were made meditatively by "attunement", where "each person does their best to find an inner state of mind in which goodwill is foremost and any outcome will be one which serves as the best for all."<ref name=Mgmt/> "Most decisions are made unanimously or with a loyal minority."<ref name=Mgmt/> Failing this, decisions were passed with a 90% majority vote; decisions that did not reach this threshold were given time "for more information to be gathered", and the proposals were presented again later.<ref name=Mgmt/>
