If a leader suppresses every opposing view in a group discussion to maintain peace, what may be a long-term effect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The quality of ideas and trust among members may decline.
Suppressing disagreement may create the appearance of peace, but members can become afraid to share concerns, alternatives, or mistakes. The group then loses diverse viewpoints, weakens its examination of evidence, and may make poorer decisions. Over time, people may distrust the leader. Respectful disagreement, with agreed discussion rules, supports creativity and informed decisions.
