While high cohesiveness has many benefits, it can also present certain challenges:
Groupthink: Highly cohesive teams may fall victim to groupthink, where the desire for harmony leads to poor decision-making and suppression of dissenting opinions. Resistance to Change: Cohesive teams might resist changes and new ideas, preferring to stick with established norms and routines. Conflict Avoidance: Team members may avoid addressing conflicts to maintain harmony, which can lead to unresolved issues and underlying tensions.
