Herding Process and Its Impacts on Institutions

In the discussion of herding processes, the concept of togetherness overpowering individuality was emphasized. In such scenarios, everyone adjusts based on the least mature members of the community, leading to a constant state of tension to maintain peace at any cost, often termed as appeasement. This approach promotes avoiding conflict by accommodating disruptions caused by the immature, setting the agenda in favor of these less mature members. Consequently, institutional agendas may be swayed by those who react the most rather than aligning with the mission and purpose.
