The Myth of Collective Wisdom
We've all heard that "two heads are better than one." It's a comforting idea that groups make better decisions than individuals. But what if this conventional wisdom is dangerously wrong? In "Wiser," Harvard's Cass Sunstein reveals a startling truth: groups often amplify rather than correct individual errors. Think about the last time your team made a terrible decision despite having smart people in the room. This wasn't an anomaly-it was predictable group dynamics at work. From Kodak ignoring digital photography to Nokia missing the smartphone revolution, history is littered with catastrophic group decisions made by intelligent people. Barack Obama kept this book in the Oval Office for good reason: understanding these dynamics is crucial for anyone who works with others.
