Abstract

Co-operating groups tasked with a problem are better than even the group''s best problem-solver functioning alone. Yet far too often a leader fails to ask for input from team members - or team members themselves relinquish problem-solving to the leader. In this article, psychologist Robert B Cialdini, author of ''Influence: Science and Practice'', illustrates how such errors lead to bad choices, flawed solutions, and avoidable errors - and makes recommendations for staying on track to get the best results from your group.
