Not understanding a sentence

I would appreciate it if someone can rephrase the sentence in bold and maybe point out the grammatical components of it. I found it very confusing and interfere with my understanding on the passage.

One process by which groups may make bad or irrational decisions is known as groupthink. Individual members of a group attempt to conform their opinions to what they believe to be the group consensus even though the result may be negative. These include the desire to be like, fear of losing a job, or even not wanting to be the employee delaying a decision that seems inevitable. These kinds of implicit pressures to conform lead group members to ultimately make decisions that each by himself or herself, might normally not make.
