Groupthink is the phenomenon where individuals may choose to conform to the group's opinion rather than express their own ideas in order to preserve the harmony of the group. It can lead to a lack of creativity and innovation, as well as poor decision-making. Choosing not to speak up in a group setting could be a result of a fear of going against the group's consensus and disrupting the harmony.
