Overview: Whenever two or more people meet to make a decision, a number of complex group dynamics come into play. Sometimes those group dynamics operate to create a situation where the best possible decision is not made. This can occur for several reasons. One of the common group effects is the group-think phenomenon. This occurs when group members feel that it is more useful to go along with an idea presented, than to suggest their own, or criticize or comment on the ideas of others. As a result good ideas and solutions may never be placed on the table, and the decision that appears to be supported may not be “optimized”, since there is little attempt to make it better.
