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.
In this set of materials, the author strongly postulates that working as a team for projects has several advantages over working as individuals and provides two points to endorse the idea. On the other hand, the professor states that a company checks the performance of employees after six months in which every individual must have their free rights and denies each of the points mentioned in the passage.
First and foremost, the passage begins by explaining that if employees work as a team they have more knowledge, experience, skills, resources, creativity, and can easily solve the issues. The whole team will be responsible for the consequences. However, the Professor explains that when a group completes a task they got recognition as whole not as individuals. Team members with real contributions contrast with this idea of working as a team.
Moreover, the professor in the lecture highlights that working as a group delays most of the projects because it requires approval from all the members, many meetings are held and then an idea got approval. These claims refute the author's implication of working as a group increases the ability to make quick decisions.
Ultimately, the article wraps its reasons by explaining that working as a team results increases the chances of an individual to shine and it has more impact. However, the speaker in the listening refutes this point by insisting that in a group some members suggest a creative idea the other members sometimes rejected that idea. As a result, if the project fails the whole team will be blamed for that.
