“Groupthink” occurs when there is an effort to move stalled decisions and avoid conflict, which can result in possible poor decision-making outcomes.

Have you ever been a part of a negotiation where “groupthink” or something similar occurred? If yes, describe the event, your feelings before, during, and after the event, and mention what you might have done differently. If no, explain an example of something you have observed that used “groupthink”. Explain, in detail, the event and situation and anything you may have done differently.
