Describe procedures that can be used to minimize the possibility of groupthink
What will be an ideal response?
Assign one group member to be a "devil's advocate" who intentionally questions and criticizes the group's actions. Encourage members to "kick the problem around." Ensure that every group member
has an opportunity to voice an opinion. Encourage individuals to express disagreement without being
chastised by the group for doing so. Set a guideline that prevents leaders from stating their conclusion
or opinions first. Invite outside experts to participate in the group or review conclusions to ensure all
views have been considered.
