The lecture and the reading article both discuss the team's effectiveness in handling a project which is a common approach in companies. While the reading article states that, the team approach is advantageous than individual contribution, the lecture refutes this claim. The professor thinks teamwork hinder the pace and effectiveness of a project.
First of all, the reading claims, team can deliver work quickly than individual contributor. Expertise, know-how and wide variety of skills of team members catalyze the progress of the project. Team's risk taking ability overpasses the individual contributor aspect and can put forth creative solutions quickly. However, the lecture argues that team members take more time to agree on point and that slows down the progress.
In addition, the reading passage makes the argument that every team members share responsibilities equally and being part of team is an enriching experience. The lecture counters this point by stating, not all team members are equally enthusiastic about their work and get free pass; while the real hardworking contributors end up getting frustrated. Project’s success credit is equally shared by all members.
Lastly, the reading article argues that individual members get an appreciation for their ideas and contribution along with the team's success. But, the lecture denies the claim by pointing out that strong personality members, rule the team decisions and often the voice of other members is ignored by the influential members. Everyone shares the blame if project fails to achieve desired outcome.
