In many boardrooms, the desire for cohesion can impact decision-making. Most directors, have at some point, hesitated to speak up – worried about being seen as disruptive. Could this be conformity bias or group think?

Unconscious bias influences our decisions without realising, often reinforcing pre-existing views and limiting diverse perspectives.
