研究：会议能使团队成员变蠢 原文来自英文阅读网

Meetings don't just eat up time in the workplace, they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.

新研究发现，会议不单会耗费大量工作时间，实际上还会使团队成员都变蠢。

Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they 'divert' their brain power towards maintaining their social status in the group.

'You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they may make you act brain dead as well,' said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.

Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.

Some people performed well in the 'social' tests, but others were affected badly - and overall, performance dropped.

Women appear to feel this pressure more than men - only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their peformance dropped.

The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people's brains responded - and found that bad peformers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.

'We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,' said Montague. 'Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.'

'Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,' said lead author Kenneth Kishida.

'We don't know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missing a large segment of the talent pool?'

好的会议组织、优秀的发言会激励员工奋发向上，积极进取。

中国人最喜欢开会了，领导讲话空白无力。

不要相信，领导讲话，只讲两三分钟

有的会开的没目的，会议没主题，上边开大会，下边开小会，真的会越变越蠢。

       看不懂、慢慢学

一些领导却毫无边际的发表观点，结果与会者听得一头雾水，从而使会议的效果大打折扣。
开会应该主题明确，让与会者都有机会发言，这样才可以提高员工的积极性，发挥出更好的能力，又能解决问题。

官方式的会议大部分比较蠢，说一堆大虚空，实质的内容没多少，但例如头脑风暴式的会议肯定能起到激发思维的作用。一个人讲的会只是个人思想宣导，大家讨论的会是真正发散思维

大部分会议让大部分人都变蠢了。最讨厌开会。

我们单位LD最喜欢开会了，我每次开会都睡觉，都被他训一遍
