Tpo 2 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 nimbers 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.
According to the reading, teamwork of specific new projects has several advantages over individual work. However, the professor in the lecture has a negative attitude towards this statement.
First and foremost, the reading claims that teamwork has many benefits, such as more skills and knowledge. On the other hand, the professor states that some individuals have free rides while not productively working but get rewarded, Where that are other team members work harder. In the end, the recognitions go to the team as a whole.
Secondly, the reading explains that some team members can be rewarded for taking the group's lead. In contrast, the professor argues that only one or two leads and influences the group. Some projects do not move quickly because of the tremendous number of meetings.
Finally, the reading suggests that a great chance of shinning for a team member is significantly possible. Nevertheless, the professor in the lecture explains that when members of the group influence the other teams, it is hard for other members to object because no one listens to them. Usually, they get ignored, and as a result of that, the whole project will fail.
