Groupthink

In a 3-4 page paper, describe an instance of Groupthink that occurred at your workplace (or an example from another organization or group) and then answer the following questions:

1. What were the circumstances of the Groupthink and how did it unfold? Who was involved? Be sure to explain your role, if any.

2. Which of Janis’ symptoms of Groupthink do you think were present? Explain. (See Week 5: Lecture – What Explains Diffusion of Responsibility.)

3. What were the ramifications of the Groupthink in this situation?

4. What actions might have been taken to prevent Groupthink from occurring, and how might that alternative outcome have looked?
