Discuss the disadvantages of teams.
On Aug 01, 2024
-Groupthink. Like other social structures, business teams can generate tremendous pressures to conform. Groupthink occurs when peer pressures cause individual team members to withhold contrary or unpopular opinions and to go along with decisions they don't really believe in. The consequences of groupthink can range from bland, unimaginative work to outright disasters.
-Hidden agendas. Some team members may have a hidden agenda-private, counterproductive motives, such as a desire to take control of the group, to undermine someone else on the team, or to pursue an incompatible goal.
-Cost. Aligning schedules, arranging meetings, and coordinating individual parts of a project can take a lot of time and money.
-Overload. Some companies have embraced collaborative work approaches to such an extent that they're overloading employees with team assignments.
