False Consensus

    The Echo Chamber

    A leadership team that converges too quickly is not a sign of strength, it is a warning signal. The Echo Chamber pattern appears when social pressure, hierarchy, or a desire for cohesion moves a group toward agreement before the evidence justifies it. The result is a decision with no genuine deliberation behind it.
