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 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.
You have 20 minutes to plan and write your response. Your response will be judged on the basis of the quality of your writing and on how well your response presents the points in the lecture and their relationship to the reading passage. Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words.
The main purpose of the text and lecturer is to analyze the benefit of teamwork in a project. According to the text, the teamwork approach is highly beneficial for several reasons such as it provide a faster result, give a highly creative solution, and a chance for the member to being recognized. For example, the team with different competency may contribute different advice since they could see the problem more holistic. Moreover, the decision made by a team, make the member more courageous to make a risky choice since no one particular will took the blame. However, the professor refutes the idea by giving several counter arguments.
First, the time needed to finish the task might be longer. According to the professor, this actually happens because the team member cannot reach a consensus. Albeit, they need more meeting just to finalize one solution. Therefore, the outside of the box idea might not come since it takes a while to finish a meeting.
Second, the chance for the member to being recognizes actually a problematic aspect of teamwork. The professor argues that some of them may just get the free ride, and the one who contributes more didn’t get the compliment they need since it is in the name of teamwork. Whereas when there is problem arise, everyone get the blame. In addition, the rise of prominent figure in a group could lead the team into a problem since this leader could turn down the right answer or proceed an ill advice. This will, in the end, put the blame in every one even though the leader should take the responsibility.
