Efforts to avoid groupthink, however, can lead to an even more serious problem?deadlock. Groupthink or Deadlock explores these dual problems in the Eisenhower and Reagan administrations and demonstrates how both presidents were capable of learning and consequently changing their policies, sometimes dramatically, but at the same time doing so in characteristically different ways. Kowert points to the need for leaders to organize their staff in a way that fits their learning and leadership style and allows them to negotiate a path between groupthink and deadlock. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xStaff 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xDecision making 606 $aPolitical consultants$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1953-1961 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1981-1989 615 0$aPresidents$xStaff. 615 0$aPresidents$xDecision making. 615 0$aPolitical consultants 615 0$aPolitical leadership 676 $a352.23/233/0973 700 $aKowert$b Paul$f1964-$01647221 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819432103321 996 $aGroupthink or deadlock$93994668 997 $aUNINA
