Teams Present Dilemma’s discussion question

Daft (2016) identifies three primary reasons teams present a dilemma for most people.

1. We have to give up our independence.  When people become part of a team, their success depends on the team’s success; therefore, they are dependent on how well other people perform, not just on their own individual initiative and actions
2. We have to put up with free riders.  The term free rider refers to a team member who attains benefits from team membership but does not actively participate in and contribute to the team’s work.
3. Teams are sometimes dysfunctional.  Many teams have great success, but others experience significant failure.  The ways in which teams are managed plays the most critical role in determining how well they function.
