Schwarmdumm

von Gunter Dueck

Instead of magnifying our intelligence, swarms of humans are often ruled by the principle of "too many cooks spoil the broth." In businesses and organizations, senseless meetings, painful compromises, and half-baked outcomes are not the exception but the rule. Maverick Gunter Dueck, an expert in the world of work, calls this "swarm stupidity." The author explains why the individual members of a team often make better decisions than the team itself, and how something brilliantly simple can arise amidst the masses.
