Strong founder imprinting, like that at Patagonia, can result in cohesive groups of employees holding similar beliefs. As a result, the corporate culture becomes more potent and unique. Yet, strong cultures can have a negative side effect: groupthink, the situation in which opinions coalesce around a leader and individuals do not critically evaluate and challenge that leader’s views and assumptions. Cohesive, non-diverse groups are highly susceptible to groupthink, which can lead to poor decision-making with potentially harmful consequences. Is groupthink a risk to Patagonia? Why or why not?

Since the leader needs their followers to achieve any goals at all. The same applies for the follower as well. As a follower, the more you are able to lean in towards the leader.
