Final answer:

To avoid groupthink, a potential leader should encourage diverse opinions, use anonymous voting, and avoid pressuring people to make decisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To avoid groupthink, a potential leader should:

  1. Encourage the expression of diverse opinions: By creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas, a leader can prevent groupthink by promoting a diversity of perspectives.
  2. If voting, use anonymous ballots: Anonymous voting allows individuals to express their opinions freely without fear of judgment or pressure from others.
  3. Do not pressure people to make decisions: Giving individuals space and time to make decisions without pressuring them can prevent rushed choices that may lead to groupthink.
