Groupthink

Chapter: Chapter 5 — Group Process & Decision Support ACT/GTM: GTM

Collective pressure for conformity that suppresses dissent and produces overconfident, under-examined decisions (Irving Janis).

Fast consensus, homogeneous team, stress, external threat narrative, moral certainty.

Screen for symptoms: illusion of unanimity, self-censorship, mindguards, invulnerability, rationalization.
