Janis suggested several steps for preventing groupthink. Here are two great
recommendations if you are the leader of a team:
- ‘Give a high priority to airing objections and doubts.’ In other words:
encourage all group members to speak their mind. Even and especially
if the opinion is unpopular.
- Divide your team into two and form competing teams to study the same
problem. Compare results.
‘When all think alike, no one is thinking.’
Walter Lippmann
