RE: GROUPTHINK - a systemic view on group decisions and consensus
Thank you for your visit. Lovely to have you here.
Yes, it's quite a while ago :)
I am glad to hear that the systemic related posts were a good source for you. I sometimes think it all sinks into the basement of the Steemosphere and so it's good to hear your feedback.
Oh :) yes, we are all children of the same tree - Our professions are closer to each other than those of a truck driver.
I vividly remember my group during my education. We had a lot of troubles! Laughter. Yes, it brings a sense of identity and cohesion but I agree it also causes a lot of conflicts. Often remain unsolved.
Yes, I would say that you are right in concluding that systemic consensus decision making is more about the issues and less about the individuals position. Though funnily it's exactly the individuals position which gets a chance to be honestly expressed. But while in majority voting its all about "Me first/on top" in systemic consensus all individuals know that every one else will make his choice on a much more authentic base. Isn't that wonderful. :)
