It&amp;#x27;s good to consider both sides of each coin.</text></comment>
<story><title>Common Causes of Bad Decisions</title><url>https://www.collaborativefund.com/blog/bad-decisions/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>HashingtheCode</author><text>&amp;gt; Tribal instincts reduce the ability to challenge bad ideas because no one wants to get kicked out of the tribe.&lt;p&gt;Spot on. In the work place, this is toxic. Especially if on top of this fear of being kicked out, you have a psychopathic boss.&lt;p&gt;What happens in this scenario? Bad decision after bad decision with workers even though they know it is wrong, won&amp;#x27;t challenge out of fear.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;So people either willingly nod along with bad ideas, or become blinded by tribal loyalty to how bad the ideas are to begin with.&lt;p&gt;Damn office sheep....</text></comment>
