Post by: Leslverocanosa on Mar 8, 2018 C The group leader would need to clarify the group members' responses related to removing another member. A better approach is that when a leader observes group members beginning to display or encourage certain known groupthink behaviors, the group leader should take them aside (outside the group) and talk with them about what is occurring and how these behaviors may negatively impact the group. This is a more sound management strategy than removing these members totally. Allowing time to gather additional information and to reflect upon what already exists; encouraging independent (not group) thinking; and encouraging members to verbalize their own opinions, thoughts, and ideas are ways of preventing groupthink behaviors from occurring. A Fixed costs exist regardless of the number of patients for whom care is provided. Variable costs vary with volume and will increase or decrease depending on the number of patients. C Feedback A Would provide encouragement to the family for donation. B Would provide encouragement to the family for donation. C Family members may be reluctant to consent to donation if the patient has never previously expressed her wishes. D May initially cause some conflict, but because almost all major religious groups express this decision as a personal one, it should not cause conflict once she makes her decision. C While using the consensus approach can be advantageous when all members of the group are affected by the decision, one disadvantage is that it is not a timely means of making a decision. Due to its time-consuming nature, it should be reserved for important decisions where strong support is needed from the participants who will implement them. Agreement with each other is an advantage, but consensus building does not necessarily mean total agreement; it means that the group members can live with and support the decision made. Any time people get together, there is a potential for disagreement; however, disagreement is not a characteristic of consensus building. A sense of invincibility is a characteristic of groupthink behaviors. B Having a consensus on a decision or solution to a problem means that all group members can live with and fully support the decision made regardless of whether they totally agree with it 100 percent. The common misconception is that they must all agree 100 percent. Title: A group leader wants to determine if group members understand the concept of groupthink behavior and ...
