READING PASSAGE
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, becuase 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 recognised 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 author and the speaker discuss working a team brings benefits or not. The author believes that it has several benefits.However, the lecturer does not agree on with him.
First, the lecturer expresses this issue with an company example. A company personnel
evaluated a project which were created by teamwork. In his review, this project was completely successful. But, the lecturer emphasized that some group members whose names are unknown do not work diligently. It means that they do not provide contribution as well as other employees. So, it is not clear who the real contributors were in the project.
Second, the lecturer is at varience with author about time issue. He does not think that works are fininshed easily and quickly in teamwork. Because, team workers have lots of meetings themselves. Moreover, some of them have not same idea with others then they discuss this too much time and also the idea was changed. Thus, teamwork does not provide to use time efficiently.
Third, the lecturer also contradicts with the author about responsibility. Because, some of workers do not work seriously. Then, if the project is not completed successfully, all members are blamed with failure. This perspective is not fair for serious workers.
