Identify five strategies for resisting groupthink.

What will be an ideal response?


Divide regularly into subgroups and then bring the entire group back together to negotiate
differences. Bring in outsiders—experts or colleagues—to challenge the group’s ideas. Avoid isolation, keeping in contact with other groups. Role-play the reactions of other groups and organizations to reduce
the effects of stereotyping and rationalization. Once the decision has been made, give group members one
last chance to express any remaining doubts about the decision.
