Groupthink occurs when a group prioritizes maintaining harmony and conformity over critical thinking and analysis, leading to a decline in decision-making quality and ethical standards. The fear of dissenting opinions and the pressure to conform create a self-reinforcing loop that stifles creativity, innovation, and dissent, causing the group to make flawed decisions and overlook ethical concerns.
