From MSNBC.com...meetings make you dumber
An article today on MSNBC.com discussed a study done by researchers on group brainstorming sessions. It showed when decisions were made as part of a group the group members thinking could be clouded.
They also found that people had a harder time coming up with alternative solutions to a problem when they were part of a group.
The researchers speculated that when a group of people received information, the inclination was to discuss it. The more frequently one option was said aloud, the harder it was for individuals to recall other options.
Individuals, whether students, executives or football fans, should take time to consider the facts on their own before coming to a consensus.
