Dangers of Groupthink
Groupthink is the process of making decisions within the group that discourages creativity and individual responsibility. This occurs naturally when the group becomes too cohesive and isolated from outside influence. According to the University of Twente in the Netherlands, groupthink occurs when the group picks and chooses which information to disseminate without ensuring facts or thorough assessments. The group also limits options and solutions without considering creative alternatives. When groupthink occurs, the company risks becoming outmoded and stale. Without critical analysis or lively debate of issues, a company cannot grow and succeed.
