Groupthink is the narrowing of thought by a group of people, leading to the perception that there is only one correct answer. To even suggest alternatives becomes a sign of disloyalty.

Although such situations are rare, they do occur during emergencies and when time and resources are severely limited. In addition, some organizations have a member who opposes any option decided upon by the group leader. There are occasions when the choice made is the best choice and for everyone to agree is not a sign of weakness or submission to authority, but simply sound management.
