Whatever the decision model,consensus or autocratic, it is better to consult with concerned parties, listen their views and mention what inputs are taken and why the other inputs could not be taken.
Shura: Islamic Approach to Decision-Making
http://www.whyislam.org/social-values-in-islam/social-ties/shura-islamic-approach-to-decision-making/
The Prophet (pbuh) used both consultation as well as consensus when making decisions. However, the opinion of the majority was not always taken if it conflicted with the tenets of the faith or went against the overall benefit of the people.
Rich content based article with citation and example about Islamic Decision making procedure:

The first pillar of the Islamic organizational structure, then, is the principle that no community of Muslims, large or small, should be without ul al-amr or a decision-making body.
The second pillar is that this body must be chosen by the community. One of the Qur`anic passages quoted earlier says that the believers' affairs are run by consultation among them. Since the choice of the decision-makers is the first and important step in the running of the affairs of a community, this choice is also subject to the principle of consultation and must therefore be made by a process of election involving the whole community.
After their election the decision-makers still remain bound by the principle of consultation. They cannot decide whatever they desire or whatever suits them, but rather must reach their decisions after duly consulting ahl alra'y(1) (people having an opinion on the matter concerned). This is clear from 3:159, where the Prophet, may he be blessed evermore, is commanded by God Most High to "consult with them (i.e. the Muslims) in matters (of public concern)".
In view of the fact that Muslim decision-makers must make their decisions, at least in important matters, after due consultation with the community, the function of the decision-makers really reduces to collecting views found in the community, giving them a coherent form (if these views conflict with one another) and then execute the decisions so reached.
