Ideas for action

With a low score in Leading / Following, Groupthink becomes a risk, where
you follow the thoughts of the group and are reluctant to voice contrary views.
This can lead to poor decisions.

A high score risks confirmation bias (this fits with my views so I’ll lead with
this view), bias blind spot (where we are so confident of our own views
that we do not recognize our own biases) and availability bias where we
confidently repeat easily available information without reflecting on its validity.
A high scorer in Leading could also drive a group towards poor decisions
(Groupthink).

For more on cognitive biases and how to mitigate their impact, see section 6.
