The Impact of Proactive Decision-Making on Personal Success According To Science Research in the field of psychology and sociology has uncovered valuable insights into the effects of waiting for others before taking action. It has been found that constantly relying on group consensus can have negative consequences on an individual's overall well-being and performance.
