Do you want to strengthen your boundaries? Donāt forget to follow.
Some people donāt want to changeāthey just want you to change yourself to fit their world. And you know what? Thatās their right, just like itās your right to decide if you want to change or not. š©¶
Sometimes, itās not you who needs to change. Sometimes, itās time to let others sit with their own discomfort when you stand up for yourself.
Groupthink happens when a group values harmony over critical thinking. Ever held back from speaking up in a meeting just to avoid standing out? Or noticed that the team you lead hesitates to share their opinions? Thatās groupthink in actionāa process where the fear of disrupting the norm leads to poorer decisions.
Psychologist Irving Janis, who coined the term, identified key conditions that make groupthink more likely:
A strong and dominant leader. When the leaderās views set the tone, independent thinking takes a backseat.
Too much cohesion. When maintaining group harmony becomes the priority, disagreement and critical perspectives are seen as threats.
External pressure to decide quickly. Under stress, groups tend to rush decisions rather than carefully weighing pros and cons.
