In many organizations, perhaps the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team. Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages. First of all, a group of people has a wider range of knowledge, expertise, and skills than any single individual is likely to possess. Also, because of the number of people involved and the greater resources they possess, a group can work more quickly in response to the task assigned to it and can come up with highly creative solutions to problems and issues. Sometimes these creative solutions come about because a group is more likely to make risky decisions that an individual might not undertake. This is because the group spreads responsibility for a decision to all the members and thus no single individual can be held accountable if the decision turns out to be wrong.
Taking part in a group process can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about carrying out the work that is entailed by that decision than they might doing work that is imposed on them by others. Also, the individual team member has a much better chance to "shine," to get his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized but recognized as highly significant, because a team's overall results can be more far-reaching and have greater impact than what might have otherwise been possible for the person to accomplish or contribute working alone.
The article states that working on projects as a team has notable and far-reaching advantages, and provides some reasons for support. However, the professor illustrates what happens when working in teams, using a company's experience as an example, and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that working as a team brings about a broader range of knowledge, expertise, and skills. The professor refutes this point by saying that some team members do nothing on the project. He states that they do not contribute at all to the project, yet, they benefit from the team's recognition.
Furthermore, the article posits that working as a team creates a quicker response to the task and more creative solutions. However, the professor says that some projects did not more quickly as it took numerous meetings and even longer time to reach a consensus. According to the professor, some members become influencers that dictate the pace and decide the direction the team will go even when other members think otherwise.
Finally, the reading says that individual member feels highly significant and satisfied as team results are always enormous. The professor discredits this point. He revealed that group members who offer enormously to the projects always feel unfulfilled as the praise is given to the group as a whole which includes non-responsible members. The professor further stated that when the project fails, the blame goes to everyone.
