Talk:Managing Groups and Teams/Process Losses

A solid idea, to translate what we know about individual level biases to examine their impact at the group level. This chapter could use some work, still. There are few references to outside sources, and few links in the chapter to other places where the reader can go to develop further information (for example, wikipedia). The chapter could also use images to illustrate the points and break up the flow, as well as some consistency across sections. Some of the sections, for instance, include headings, while others do not. Also, why is the name of the chapter "process losses"? See, as an example, http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Managing_Groups_and_Teams/Which_attributes_are_fundamental_to_team_cohesion%3F

Suggestions on this chapter.
I really enjoyed the sections on Recency Bias and the Curse of Knowledge. I thought both of these sections were very well written and had a great flow to them. I especially liked the use of real world/work situations to illustrate their points. This made it very easy to internalize and understand how these sections can affect managers. I felt the parts before the above mentioned sections were almost there. They are very broken up and the reading didn't flow well. Dropping the subheadings and using text in the paragraphs to connect each idea would help them flow better. As for the remaining sections; they are very short, hard to read, and understand. While examples were used some of the time it appeared to be thrown in without much explaination. My main interest is in real world application. How is this going to affect me as a manager? In what context will it occur? How can I become aware of said biases and overcome them? These are more important to me than spitting out terminology.
