    Answer is Groupthink

    It is given that, one group always delivers quick decisions, agrees with the leader's opinions, and does not thoroughly consider the feasibility of the solutions.

    Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.

    It happens when because of group harmony, group members do not want to disagree, discuss and they easily agree with leader's opinion.

    Groupthink

    Explanation:

    In psychology, groupthink is a phenomenon used to explain certain non-logical or non-reasonable acts just because the members of a team feel a huge social pressure and need to belong to the group. This need to belong to a group leads to poor decision making because no one wants to consider part of the outgroup because that is socially penalized.

    What is happening in this specific group clearly manifests one of the main characteristics of groupthink, only the leader's opinions are important and no one dares to question those opinions because that would be considered as questioning his/her authority and the fear of being expelled is too large.
