Group dynamics, or how people work together, can really affect how decisions are made. Here are some thoughts based on my experiences.
Positive Dynamics:
Collaboration:
When everyone feels safe sharing their ideas, creativity grows.
Trust:
In a trusting space, people give honest feedback. This helps the group find better solutions.
Consensus:
When members work together, it’s easier to come to a shared decision.
Negative Dynamics:
Conflict:
Tension in the group can lead to bad decisions. Sometimes, people may avoid important discussions.
Groupthink:
This happens when everyone agrees just to keep the peace. It can stop critical thinking.
Dominance:
If one person takes control of the conversation, it can silence different viewpoints.
In short, being aware of these dynamics can help groups have better discussions and make better decisions.
