Both the reading and the lecture are about how work on teams in a project can affect the overall development of the project and the implication of the team members. Globally, the reading claims that working in teams implies several advantages to the group as a whole and that every member can be positively influenced by the results. The lecture, in the other hand, challenges these claims, argumenting that working on a project in teams can be counterproductive and can affect negatively on individuals, mining their motivation and making them less useful.
To begin with, the reading states that working in teams can widen the scope of the project, which improves the success of the team and increases it achievements. It is mentioning that a good diversity of members inside a team contributes to a more complex and accurte work. However, in the lecture cast this argument is challenged. The lecturer shows how there are sometimes people that procastinate inside a team, forcing the rest to work harder, which ultimately leads to a permanent dissatisfaction.
Secondly, the reading mentions that teamworking acelerates the job done. In this regard, thanks to the fact that the members of the team can usually take riskier solutions, the reading claims that when people work together, innovative solutions are encouraged. This claim is challenged by the lecturer, who says that a big group can be stuck in dicussions that do not let the work go on, and hence, the objectives are not reached in the optimum frame of time.
Finally, the author of the reading states that all members of a team are capable of stand out more than in individual tasks. This exposition is again challenged by the lecturer. According to him, those members who have bigger influence can enforce their ideas and ignore signs of failure, although other members predicted this end beforehand, and yet the reproaches are equally distribuited among all the group.
