This concept allowed my team to avoid group pitfalls by poking holes in every idea proposed to make sure it was the best one. This ensured that only the best content agreed upon by all team members would make it to our final assignment submission. My team learned to implement a devil’s advocate the hard way. In our initial meetings, everyone in the group would agree on every idea a person proposed since they did not want to the first person in the group to disagree and possibly cause tension. This reflected in our barely passing mark for our team charter and served as a wake-up call to change how we operate. I will apply this going forward by letting any future groups I am in know this is a concept that is necessary for success and personally take the lead in being devil’s advocate, so that I can break the ice and other members feel comfortable doing the same in upcoming
