How to Avoid the Lucifer's Effect in Team Building

The first step in avoiding the Lucifer's Effect is to recognize its potential. It means being aware of the dynamics within your team and watching out for signs of groupthink. Encourage all team members to speak up and express their opinions, even if they go against the prevailing consensus. It's important to create a culture of psychological safety, where people feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas without fear of ridicule. It's crucial to ensure that team members have a clear understanding of the goals and how their individual contributions fit into the larger picture.
