much about the
decision process. -Jim Nightingale

groupthink:
mode of thinking that happens
when the desire for harmony in a
decision-making group overrides a
realistic appraisal of alternatives.
Group members try to minimize
conflict and reach a consensus
decision without critical evaluation
of alternative ideas or viewpoints.

Where do good ideas come
from? That is simple…from
differences. Creativity comes
from unlikely juxtapositions.
The best way to maximize
differences is to mix ages,
cultures and disciplines.

can trump ability and that
when making predictions
diversity matters just as

political statements. They
are mathematical truths. -Scott Page
