In Leadership, Collective Intelligence Can Diminish

When multiple individuals with high intelligence collaborate, the outcome can paradoxically reflect a significant drop in effective intelligence, demonstrating the risk of poor group dynamics. Furthermore, the modern political landscape demands rapid response due to compressed news cycles, necessitating an agile 'war room' approach. This environment highlights the importance of immediate strategy and communication over deliberative processes. Successful political teams foster a culture that embraces calculated risk-taking, where mistakes are met with support rather than punishment, thereby encouraging innovation and resilience in the face of failure.
