Scenario: The Research and Development Team
Janet works on a team of 15 people working in research and development for a toymaker. They have weekly meetings to discuss new toy ideas. Occasionally, Janet will have a good idea that she wishes to discuss, but it takes too long for all her other teammates to finish talking that she will often just not bother to bring it up. Occasionally, there are arguments about which new project should have the most resources devoted to it, but Janet finds her coworkers always maintain respect for each other and work out a solution.
Janet's problem getting her ideas out in meetings is a problem known as:
A) groupthink.
B) evaluation apprehension.
C) team syndrome.
D) production blocking.
E) intentional sabotage.
