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.

The article is about two advantages of working on a project as a team. However, the professor gives an example about a company that has teams that planned for a certain project, and unfortunatly there were many disadvantages for that team working.
To begin with, the reading first advantage of working as a team is that a group of people has a wider range of knowledge, expertise, and skills than any single individual which will make them work mork quickly. In contrast, from the example of the professor, the work in the project was not fast, and it did not move quickly because during planning the project many members did not contribute in working , and they spent a lot of time in organizing and assembling their ideas.
Second, the article explains that working as a group can be very rewarding. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will feel better about working on their ideas rather than obey what other people told them . According to the lecture, working on a team was not rewarding because the recognition went to the whole team, so the member who has a positive effect on the team and the one who did not do any thing were the same. Moreover, members who have a voice in a group could have a negative effect. For instance, in one of the teams, they give a bad decision, and regardless other's warnings, the team followed what they decided.
