Working in Teams
The lecturer talks about research conducted by a firm that used the group
system to handle their work. He says that the theory stated in the passage was
very different and somewhat inaccurate when compared to what happened for
real.
First, some members got free rides. That is, some didn’t work hard but
gotrecognition for the success nontheless. This also indicates that people who
worked hard was not given recognition they should have got. In other words,
they weren’t given the oppotunity to “shine.” This derectly contradicts what the
passage indicates.
Second, groups were slow in progress. The passage says that groups are nore
responsive than individuals because of the number of people involved and their
aggregated resources. However, the speaker talks about how the firm found out
that groups were slower than individuals in dicision making. Groups needed
more time for meetings, which are neccesary procceedures in decision making.
This was another part where experience contradicted theory.
Third, influetial people might emerge, and lead the group towards glory or
failure. If the influent people are going in the right direction there would be no
problem. But in cases where they go in the wrong direction, there is nobody
that has enough influence to counter the decision made. In other words, the
group might turn into a dictatorship, with the influential party as the leader, and
might be less flexible in thinking. They might become one-sided, and thus fail to
succeed.
