Why Groups Make Horrible Decisions

Ten people in an organization gather in a room to discuss a bold move forward in an uncertain direction. How will it end? You already know don't you?

Endless meetings fueled by a committee mentality are delaying decisions, killing innovation, and creating a culture of compromise. In our new hyper-competitive world where our environment is changing faster than ever, this old culture of over-collaboration won't work anymore.

Every individual must be ready to step up, assume responsibility, and be prepared to make and defend difficult decisions. Are you ready?
