Question

You've been taking notes for your boss during his meetings with the Senior Executive for the organization. You notice that everyone agrees with the plan of action from the Senior Executive, but everyone expects someone else to handle the work to meet the plan. This is a form of:
a. group think

b. social expression

c. self-managing team

Answer 1

Answer:

A- Group think

Explanation:

In group think, bad decisions are often made because, rather than consider other alternatives, a group of people agree to a decision suggested by, in most cases, the most superior party in the room.

This form of thinking hides true opinions of other members of the group and though the decision is agreed upon, they could truly not want to be a part of the process.

In this scenario, there is an agreement with the Senior Executive on the plan of action however, nobody is interested in taking up the responsibility to follow through with the plan. This indicates a level of disagreement of other members with the plan regardless of the initially stated agreement with the plan.
