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.
The reading passage supports working in a group or team for completing project works in a company. However, the lecturer refutes the idea that made by the author in the reading passage.
To the author, a group includes skilled people, having expertise on specific subjects, for this reason, a group can make an instant decision. In contrast, the lecturer denies the author's argument. He says that some team members acting like just free rider as taking benefits of group project.
In addition, the author also includes that group can take risky decision if needed because individual person, in this case, would not be accountable for wrong decisions. However, the lecturer mentions totally opposite views. He says that the influential persons in a group prevent others in taking good decision by saying that this idea would not work. For this, the worth idea remains undiscussed. The speaker also adds that due to influential bodies in a group, other team members might undertake decisions that actually would not worthy. In that case, the whole project goes to failure, but all the members have to be responsible for this bad idea.
Finally, the author suggests that by working in a group, individual members have a great chance to flourish in the career as the group or team can undertake decisions that have a substantial impact. Conversely, the speaker claims that since recognizing the group's success goes to all the members, so there is no space to be famous individually or take the credit personally. This idea totally contradicts the argument of the author.
