Collective-timing bias

The collective-timing bias is a form of cognitive tendency to think in a certain way that consists of not understanding that a specific situation or task requires immediate decision by a single person while decision makers affected by collective-timing bias try, consciously or unconsciously, to waste time by sharing the potential decision with anyone around ignoring the fact that:  most people do not have the power to take that decision;  most people do not have interest in that decision making process;  they are in overdue;  they are paid for taking that decision. A collective-timing bias is a powerful form of group-think.
