Why do groups of the smartest people make dumb decisions?

The Bay of Pigs invasion. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Blair and Bush's war on Iraq.

Every day in smaller ways groups make terrible decisions because of groupthink.

Yet the increasing complexity of the world shows that collective intelligence is key. Overwhelmingly, science, business and social breakthroughs happen through teams. Individual brilliance is no longer enough.

Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed shows how teams get it wrong.

If you lead or are part of a team, it's a must read.

Here's our Book Club discussion with:
