Groupthink
Does your team or group have trouble in making decisions from various
perspectives? Did you ever find that your team have difficulties in bringing up
different opinions in meetings? Have you ever noticed that your co-workers tend to
agree on almost everything that a small number of people come up with? Or do you
feel yourself under tremendous pressure when attempting to disagree with other team
members?
If any of the above situations applies to your work experience, chances are
good that you and your team has fallen into the phenomenon called Groupthink, a
killer that paralyzes team dynamics, suppresses creativity, and reduces efficiency.
Knowing groupthink, its common symptoms, and good organizational practices helps immune your group
from consequences that deteriorate output of your work or business. |
