The Communication Book by Mikael Krogerus

(Martin Jones) #1

Janis suggested several steps for preventing groupthink. Here are two great
recommendations if you are the leader of a team:



  1. ‘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.


  1. Divide your team into two and form competing teams to study the same


problem. Compare results.

‘When all think alike, no one is thinking.’
