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 states that, the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team and provide some reasons to support it. However, the professor gives an example of an organisation where this approach was not considered as the best way. and refutes each of aritcles reasons.
First, the reading states the a group of people has a wider range of knowledge,expertise and skills than any single individual is likely to possess. The professor refutes that some people do not contribute at all in a project done by a group of people. He gives an example of an organisation that employed the team approach of doing work and after six months an evaluation of the projects was done. It was found that every team had some free riders that didnt contributed to the task at all. The people who did work hard for the projects were not given recognition for their hard work and the praise of the successful task completion was given to the whole team.
Second, the reading posits that a group can work more quickly towards a task. However the professor says that working in a group takes more time to complete a task. According to him, the group does not come to consensus quickly. Several meetings needs to be made before people reach to an agreement on how to move forward with a project. This increases the the time of completing the task.
Third, the reading says that individual team member has a chance to shine to get his contributions and ideas be considered as highly significant. The professor disputes this by stating that during the course of projects, some influencers are formed in a group and their decisions are over valued over other team members. So even if the some of the team members warn the team against the influencers decisions, those warnings are rejected by the team. Upon failure, the whole team is blamed rather than just the influencers.
