Meyer works for a new start-up technology firm, which has six highly opinionated but very committed employees. The owner of the firm, Zalman, strongly believes that he should make every decision since he is the boss.

Moreover, Zalman's decisions are usually focused on short-term rather than long-term benefits and costs. At this point, most people in the firm agree that the decision making of the owner is going to destroy the young firm before it really gets started. Zalman's belief that he should make every decision himself by diagnosing the problem as he sees it and then immediately implementing a solution is a(n)

A) positive way of making good decisions.
B) mistake that leads to suboptimal decisions.
C) example of vigilance against groupthink.
D) example of goal displacement.
E) form of social loafing.
