  Being one of the louder persons in the room when it comes to opinions, I’ve noticed that some of my colleagues are unlikely to challenge my views unless I explicitly ask for their input. This gets worse if you’re a senior developer mentoring junior developers. They may lack the confidence or knowledge required to challenge you when you are wrong. If you want to see studies on how detrimental this is to proper team function, look at Crew Resource Management in commercial air travel. There are painful lessons learned from many, many accidents.
