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 numbers 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 the 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.
Both the writing and lecture is about the discussion whether the task or activity carried out in group turns out to be efficacious or when it is carried out by an individual. The author believes that working in group proves to be fruitful while the lecturer rebuts this viewpoint of an author. On the other hand, Lecturer believes that working in group makes the project futile, invite tardiness and accolades being focused on whole group without any individual recognition. Lecturer addresses in detail about the reasons for having such opinions.
Firstly, the author makes the claim that working in group would provide highly creative solutions to the problems as every member in the group has profound knowledge, expertise and consummate skills. However, Lecturer refutes this claim of the author by stating that it doesn't necessarily mean that all the creative skills would be fused together to give better output. Lecturer further adds, when there are some influencers in the group who are able to convince the group to orient towards the certain direction, it leads to the ignoring the perspective of other group members despite the opinion of non-influencers being superior to that of influencers.
Secondly, the author states that the project would be completed on time while working in a group. While the lecturer confutes this opinion. Lecturer asserts that working in group invites tardiness. In addition, he states that the individuals of a group take a long time to reach a consensus eventually leading to the meetings and further discussions to reach the common ground, which would delay the activity.
Lastly, the author maintains that every individual will be underscored for the potent decisions that they are accountable. In contrary, Lecturer is of the opinion that certain teammates who contributed to a work in negligible amount also receives the same accolades as the success of tasks is credited to the whole group. Real contributors remain the unsung hero of the projects.
To conclude, both the author and lecturer hold conflicting viewpoint about the task to be carried out whether by a group or an individual. It is clear that they will have trouble finding the common ground on this issue.
