Group thinking and teamwork are usually used to mean the same thing in a business organisation and it is absolutely very true that group thinking and teamwork plays a very important and vital role of a business. Majority of business problems and issues and usually solved when the matter is being discussed as a group or as a team among employers and employees or among superiors and downees. The business manager is considered to be the overall maker of decision in the business organisation, but yet he or she can also employ the opinion of others possibly the employees or even members of the public depending on the situation at hand. Majority of business managers Lord it over themselves as being the overall height of decision-making in the business organisation and they feel that their decisions concerning the business growth and development can never be queried. Managers which such mindset end up leading the business to failure.

No matter your age and years of business management study and experience, that can never make you above mistake and errors, but instead you are prone to make mistakes and errors just as everyone else, which makes it very vital for you to pay close attention and encourage group thinking and teamwork in the business organisation. Decisions and thinking of more than one individuals, always lead to perfection than the decision or thinking of just one individual. The adage "Two heads are better than one" proofs it all.
 
This is more about saying that two heads are better than one and it is the truth sSmetimes as an individual we might see things from our perspective and might not know that we are not saying it correctly and we go ahead to implement the decision we had in our head and it might turn out not the way we expected it.

So it is always to have a good thoughts on a particular issue before an agreement is reached the different people in group must have looked at the issue from different angles to arrive at the concluded agreement or decision and the truth is that.the whole people can not go wrong with the decision that have taken.

So for effective decision making it is always good to adopt group thinking as a best agreement will be reached than when it is left for just one person to take the decisions
