If a group leader treats disagreement as personal criticism what effect will it have on decisions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Useful ideas may be suppressed

This can suppress useful ideas and reduce decision quality, so A is correct. Personalising disagreement is unlikely to make participation more open or eliminate misunderstanding.
