Process losses occur when _____.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about when process losses occur in group settings.
Option 1: 'teams allow external factors to influence them' — This describes susceptibility to outside influences, not the specific phenomenon of process losses, so it misidentifies the core issue.
Option 2: 'groups perform worse than expected' — This matches the standard definition of process losses: the group’s collective performance falls short of the expected outcome based on the abilities of the individuals, due to coordination, motivation, or communication inefficiencies. This is the correct core idea.
Option 3: 'teams use process-oriented managers' — Using process-oriented management is not what process losses refer to; in fact, it might help mitigate such losses by emphasizing effective processes, so this is not describing the concept.
Option 4: 'groups lose despite doing a good job' — This phrase is vague and tautological; it suggests a failure despite effort but does not capture the formal concept of process losses compared to expected performance, making it an imprecise choice.
In summary, only option 2 accurately captures the notion of process losses as the group performing worse than would be expected from its members' individual capabilities, while the other options describe related but distinct ideas or are too vague to define the concept accurately.
