Are teams always the best option?

Are teams always the best option? When should individuals be used rather than teams? Based on the three rules for the use of teams, individuals are preferred when: (1) the work is simple and doesn’t need diverse input, (2) there is no need for or benefits from a common purpose, and (3) there is little or no interdependence or need for coordination (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, 2018).
