If you feel that your company’s boardroom has devolved into everyone just agreeing, this article will give you a few ways to overcome the common problem of groupthink. Quick and easy to digest, these solutions are simple yet effective in tackling this issue that usually leads to less creativity and give the board the ability to free think.
Key Takeaways:
- That group think is a bad approach in a boardroom and can lead to bad decisions. This is why it should be avoided.
- There is a value in diversity. This offers a lot of different perspectives that are valuable to a company and the boardroom.
- Having a devils advocate is a good thing for a business. It allows the company to prevent a bad decision from following through.
“traditional brainstorming methods often fail because when groups start throwing out ideas, they actually come up with fewer actionable ideas than when they worked alone.”
