Group-think

Explanation:

Group-think is a process that is used in social psychology. This term first used by a social psychologist named Irving L. Janis. In this process, individuals strive to consensus in the group.

In this phenomenon many times people have to sit aside with their belief, either they have to go with the belief of others. The individual who opposes the belief of the group, later on, they have to confine with the group. They have to keep peace in the group rather than to make their own decision.

Thus in the above statement, Jai who is a member of the tight-knit team have to avoid any type of disagreement. The team members also avoiding considering the new ideas. Thus the team shows behavior like group-think.
