I felt that "Groupthink" was a great demonstration on how important it is to make sure that all members of a team are truly in agreement before moving forward with a decision. This video re-enacted what factors lead up to the NASA Challenger disaster, why no one spoke up when they knew an accident was eminent, and how that relates to other work environments where group decisions are necessary.
It was very interesting to see the actual footage and to understand that there were so many different people who disputed the facts but no one actually spoke up when it came time to make the decision. "Groupthink" has a strong message, and I would certainly recommend it!

Forcing the watcher to be thinking outside the box is always good in a session. It changes the pace of the training and keeps momentum going.

Finding videos that integrate well with an educational setting are often difficult to find. This particular video, when combined with the famous Delta Leadership case "Carter Racing" makes for an exceptional class on Groupthink (followed by Janis' reading). Coupled with Harvey's reading on the Abilene Paradox with the video of the same name makes for a lesson students never forget comparing a leader's failure to manage both conflict and agreement.
