The lecture refutes the passage completely, claiming that teamwork will cause negative impact on the organization while the passage suggests that people working together could benefit the outcomes. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, the passage states that every member could make a profit from the teamwork. However, the lecture argues that some members take advantages of the teamwork to give themselves a “free ride”by contributing a littile or nothing. People who really do their jobs and contribute a lot don’t feel what the passage illustrates above.
Secondly, the passage asserts that a group can shorten the processing time on tasks and generates creative solutions because a group of people is inclined to take risks. This does not agree with the lecture, saying that reaching the consensus in the group will take a long time.
Thirdly, the passage shows that members feel more comfortable dealing with the decision made by their own, and their contributions will get more opportunities to be recognized. Nevertheless, the lecture discusses that some influential people inside the group could somehow control the decision-making process, ignoring the opposite opinions from other members.
