    Groupthink
    When does groupthink happen?
    A very cohesive group is deeply involved in solving
    some problem
    Group members strive for unanimous decisions and,
    They fail to realistically appraise many alternatives

    Factors that lead to groupthink:


    We are morally superior
    We are not vulnerable
    People who oppose us are evil and weak
    We are under threat
    Dissent is not tolerated

    Leading Teams
    Two critical factors:
    Developing credibility and influence
    Establishing a motivating vision and
    goals

    Developing Credibility

    Demonstrating integrity

    Using one-sided and two-sided
    arguments appropriately

    them personally improve
