Contemporary organizations are relying more and more on teams for all of the following reasons except ______.

A) increasingly complex tasks
B) flattening of organizational structures
C) more globalization
D) lack of leadership potential

The other three options are valid reasons for organizations to rely on teams. The complexity of tasks requires expertise from different people, flattening of organizational structures implies that there are fewer hierarchical layers, which can make it easier to collaborate, and globalization means that teams need to have diverse perspectives and cultural competence. Lack of leadership potential is not a reason to rely on teams, but rather a potential issue for organizations to overcome in order to have effective teams.
