Group Consensus is Wrong

So I'm working on proofing and MRJ article about spiritual intelligence in leadership styles. And I stumbled upon this gem of an "ahah" observation:

"...the values of group consensus are actually the survivalist values of the individual writ large....therefore, groups are notoriously wrong..." and "progress [is] often made against the will of and inspite of the group."

(Hodgkinson 1983)


Actually, this whole article is making me think about Mensa leadership and who fits in which style of leadership. Fascinating stuff, really.
