Why Groups Fail to Share Information Effectively | PsyBlog

      • Groups where members disagree and who display less groupthink are more likely to share unpooled information.
      • When people are told to try and recall relevant information before the meeting, this makes them more likely to mention facts that only they know.
      • Members of a group should be made aware of each other's expertise, so they know (broadly speaking) what everyone else knows.
      • The longer meetings go on, the more likely that people will recall previously unshared information (unfortunately!).
      • People are more likely to share if they have a higher status in the group. So to encourage lower status members to share, their expertise needs to be specifically acknowledged to the group.

      Next time you're in a decision-making meeting, try consciously noticing the extent to which the group is sharing information that everyone already knows.

  • people have their own goals which may conflict with those of the group
