“Group” Quotes of “Digital Master” Aug. 2020

 In an Abilene paradox, a group of people collectively decide on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of many or all of the individuals in the group. 

"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Group” quotes in “Digital Master.”


1 Group thinking is often caused by the homogeneous team setting or lack of innovative culture.

2 As leaders, we facilitate eliciting the views if they don't think of them on their own. Some people contribute better one on one, and others can handle group debate effectively.

3 In an Abilene paradox, a group of people collectively decide on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of many or all of the individuals in the group.

4 Why is it human nature to go along with what we believe the rest of the group wants to do without taking the time to actually check out if we are all taking a trip to Abilene?

5 Some people contribute better one on one, and others are better at group work effectively.

6 You'd think that a group would tend to democratize the diversified viewpoint and to moderate individual points of view. From the variety of industry studies, group polarization means that a group of people can make a more extreme decision than an individual.

7  Everything has two sides, though the good intention of such group thinking is to avoid conflict and be compliant to the team or business leadership.
