groupthink:Mode of thinking that happens
when the desire for harmony in a
decision-making group overrides a
realistic appraisal of alternatives.
Group members try to minimize
conflict and reach a consensus
decision without critical evaluation
of alternative ideas or viewpoints.
Group intelligence is
not strongly tied to
either the average
intelligence of the
members or the team’s
smartest member.-Thomas Malone, MIT Center for Collective
