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 when a task is assigned to a team it gives several advantages and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecturer explains that research conducted by a company showed that there were no significant benefits and refutes each of the author's reasons.
To begin with, the reading states that a group of people has a vast range of knowledge and skill compared to a single individual. The lecturer refutes this point by stating that some people get a free ride during teamwork. He claims that these members contribute little to the team and get recognition for the overall team success nevertheless. Whereas, the members who worked hard didn't get proper recognition and failed to shine individually.
Secondly, the reading claims that a group of people can be faster and more responsive to any problem rather than any individual. However, the lecturer says that groups were slow in progress. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that the firm found teams needed more time to reach an agreement about any issue.
Finally, the author posits that influential people in any team can lead the group towards success or failure. In contrast, the lecture opposes this point by saying that if they lead the group towards glory there will be no problems but if they failed to do so, the whole team will be responsible for their deeds. Additionally, he says that there will be no people in the team to prevent them if they're doing something wrong. Consequently, the group will turn into a dictatorship and might be less flexible in thinking.
