Whydoes“groupthink”immediatelymeanineffectivenessandmistakes?

Groupdecision-makinginvolvesdiscussionsamongmembersofagroup,eachwiththeirownskills,experience,ideasandinformation.Unfortunately,astheauthorsexplain,therearetwotypesofinfluenceongroupmembers—informationalsignalsandsocialpressures—whichskew(扭曲）thediscussions.Informationalsignalscausepeopletokeepinformationtothemselveswhenitdisagreeswithinformationfromothers,especiallyleaders.Socialpressurescausepeopletokeepinformationtothemselvestoavoidpunishmentfromleaderswhoaredenied.
