Actions that managers can take to avoid groupthink and group pressure are to have smaller group discussions, structure meetings with intention/purpose, and as a leader/manager wait to express your thoughts/views and opinions until others have. I remember feeling pressure to conform to a group on high school projects. Someone would suggest something and everyone would just go along with it, even if it wasn't correct or the most efficient. Sometimes I would speak up and suggest my opinion, other times I just went with it.
