Groupthink
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Groupthink, named by Irving Janis, is the tendency of a cohesive group to suppress dissent and converge on a poor decision in order to preserve agreement.
Show
Members privately doubting a plan say nothing, each reading the silence of the others as consent.
Watch for
Groupthink arises from cohesion and the wish to preserve it, not from any member's incompetence.
