Group Think?!

–
From Wiki: Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group ”members” who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas or alternatives.
Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness.
During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group.
Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance.

Jeff and I are organizing a tribe potluck dinner for next week so stay tuned for the details.
I went hunting for those snickers bars in our freezer last night but could not find them.
Remember – this upcoming Monday at 7:00 pm is our first nutrition event at the gym. Also on Jan 30th, we’re having a big group workout at 10:00 and a do-it-yourself bbq afterwards. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite meat. I’ll be cooking lechon asado – my Cuban cooking skills are going to be put to the test!
I hid the wrappers……and the box in the trash can in the garage…..I had to get rid of ALL the evidence.
I want to be on that diet!
Love it! Keep it up PREY!!!
NOBODY in my tribe purchased ice cream….and if they did I would have taken it
(I got your back Jeff!)
Not even that nasty Lactade kind that I thought would be ironic to hold in the picture!
