Obama Wants to Avoid Groupthink

Upon the annoucment of President Elect Obama's choices for his national security team and Secretary of State, people begin to wonder how they will get along. The article even calls them a "team of rivals." Obama likes this because this means groupthink will be prevented. I like this idea since groupthink can cause members of the group to ignore negative information and discard outside ideas, and close their eyes to warning that the group may be mistaken.
