When teamwork works (The Economist September 8 2018)

and take interest in the following paragraphs

But managerr always have to balance the merits of teamwork, which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal, with the dangers of “group-think”, when critics are reluctant to point out a plan’s defects for fear of being ostracised by the group. The disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 was a classic case of groupthink. Sceptics were reluctant to challenge John F. Kennedy, the newly elected American president.
A related phenomenon is the “wisdom of crowds”. Large groups are remarkably good, on average, at estimating such thing as the number of beans in a jar or the weight of a prize calf. But that accuracy relies on the guesses being independent. When people are aware of the views of others, there is a tendency for them to herd, as participants are reluctant to look foolish by beviating from the majority view. The same effect may lead to stockmarket bubbles.
