Here are 8 “red flags” that can lead to groupthink -

1. An opinionated leader.
2. A close knit team with similar backgrounds and perspectives.
3. A consensus oriented culture,
4. Teams that are isolated from outside opinions and perspectives.
5. Teams under intense pressure to make decisions, especially if they are rushing to meet a tight deadline.
6. An unstructured process for making decisions that encourages diverse opinions and critical analysis.
7. A cliquish culture where members are afraid to voice dissenting opinions, and…
8. Successful, overly confident teams may not fully analyze all available options or consider potential risks.

You can manage these red flags by actively encouraging open dialogue, diverse opinions, and critical thinking.
