“…However, research suggests that cohesiveness is a multifaceted construct that has both task and interpersonal dimensions. 155,165 Task-based cohesion occurs when there is a shared commitment to goals or tasks of the group. Interpersonal cohesion is based on personal relationships, the prestige associated with membership of the group itself, and regard for and dependence on the leader of the group.…”

HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, consumer groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including consumers) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the research team best suited to undertake the work, in ...

“…Perhaps even more significantly, self and shared leadership may possess important limitations when standing alone. For example, as discussed earlier, significant literature has been devoted to the potential for decision making dysfunction in highly cohesive and conforming groups (Aldag and Fuller, 1993;Janis, 1972Janis, , 1982Janis, , 1983Moorhead et al, 1998). This raises the possibility that TMTs that are high on shared leadership but low in self-leadership of individual members might experience an implicit drive toward displaced goals.…”

“…One of the main symptoms of groupthink is a pressure to conform to the group's views [25,41,48,63]. This appeared to be relevant to this study as the group accepted initially the benefits of user stories.…”

“…This strong cohesion within a team can lead to power issues, where the pressure to conform becomes a concern. Writers on groupthink describe how this desire for cohesion in a team can ultimately lead to ineffective decision-making, where unanimity is of utmost importance, to the detriment of alternate or deviant views that may be actually correct [25,48,41,63]. Although groupthink is the most commonly described conformity issue in organisations and teams, there are alternative explanations.…”
