Jason Kottke points out:
An excellent page on groupthink and how it affects the decision-making process of groups. Irving Janis describes eight symptoms of groupthink:
- Illusion of invulnerability
- Stereotyping outsiders
- Bounded rationality and tethered assumptions
- Belief in inherent morality
- Self-censorship
- Direct pressure on dissenters
- Mindguards
- Unanimity
Useful data points for the coming weeks and months.
