Intentionally using words to arouse feelings about a subject to bias others positively or negatively in order to gain influence or power.
Intentionally restricting the number of alternatives, thereby omitting relevant alternatives from consideration.
Thinking that concentrates on what we know, what we need to know, and how we bridge that gap
is effort required to do something that is not our preference
increases the likelihood of coping behavior occurring, when used positively it can also be used to increase the team’s ability to solve Problem B and subsequently solve Problem A.
An appeal to the popularity of the claim as a reason for accepting the claim.
The choice of words themselves can conceal the truth, mislead, confuse, or deceive.
Language that implies that something is superior but retreats from that view.
Everyone has personal biases and prejudices resulting from their own unique life experiences and worldview that make it difficult to remain objective and think critically.

Creating a prejudicial atmosphere against the opposition, making it difficult for the opponent to be received fairly.
This leads to misconceptions, which are the basis of false or mistaken ideas.
This encompasses all of the problems (team dynamics, interpersonal skills, communication, collaboration, etc.) that stem from ‘human interactions’ and it steals time and energy from efforts needed to solve Problem A
This is an ‘actual problem’ that two of more individuals come together to solve.
These limitations remind us that we are not perfect and that our understanding of facts, perceptions, memories, built-in biases, etc., precludes our ability of ever seeing or understanding the world with total objectivity and clarity
Making irrelevant emotional appeals to accept a claim, since emotion often influences people more effectively than logical reasoning.
Refers to “how we think,” our preferred cognitive approach to problem solving, and decision making.
