Grand Total 100.00%

The provided data delves into individuals' experiences with compulsory agreement in the context of group

decision-making. Respondents were categorized based on whether they had ever felt the need for compulsory
agreement within their group decisions. The data reveals an intriguing balance within the surveyed population,

with 48.39% of respondents indicating that they have felt the necessity for compulsory agreement, while a

similar proportion, 51.61%, reported not having experienced such a need.

This data illustrates the diverse experiences and perspectives within the surveyed population concerning

compulsory agreement in group decision-making. It suggests that a substantial portion of the respondents have
encountered situations where compulsory agreement was deemed necessary. Simultaneously, a significant

fraction has not felt this need or has not recognized it in their group decision processes. These findings offer
valuable insights into the dynamics of group consensus and the recognition of the importance of compulsory

agreement in certain contexts. Understanding these dynamics is vital for research and decision-making in areas

where managing group dynamics and achieving consensus are crucial considerations.

Strategies to tackle Abilene Paradox in an Agile Global Workforce:

 Promoting Open Communication for Gen Z: Creating an environment that fosters open and honest

communication is especially crucial for Gen Z. Encourage group members, including Gen Z
individuals, to express their thoughts, concerns, and preferences freely. Establish a culture where

everyone's voice, especially that of Gen Z, is not only heard but also valued. Regular discussions should
be encouraged to ensure their active participation and contribution.
