Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seeking input from employees before the group leader presents his opinions can help minimize groupthink because it allows for a diversity of ideas and perspectives to be brought to the table, rather than having everyone conform to the leader's ideas. This encourages critical evaluation and can lead to more creative and effective solutions. The other options can actually contribute to groupthink by promoting conformity, minimizing critical evaluation of ideas, and fostering a strong sense of group identity.
