Discuss many aspects of groups and organizational teams and the application of those theories. | would
like for you to discuss the following question(s)
- Is the constant push for teamwork and collaborative efforts in the organizational work environment good
for productivity or is it just something that sounds good in theory, but in many cases more of an
impediment? Please note that it is obvious that teams are necessary for some organizational projects and
tasks. | am asking about the big push for organizations to increase the utilization of teams and groups and
use teamwork in areas that normally would not be considered a “team task”. - If your response to the first question is positive for increasing team and group work in organizational
settings, what are the benefits that you believe make teams valuable and worthwhile in organizations? If
your response to the first is negative, then what would be some ways to increase productivity and
organizational success without the need to make teamwork an overbearing requirement to most
projects/tasks in the organization? - As stated before, there will always be certain tasks that will need collaborative efforts to complete. in
those cases, how does personality, compatibility, similarity, and cohesiveness play a part in a team’s
success? Also think about how diversity (of all types) has always been stated as a big benefit to an
organization’s success, but dissimilar groups could have some friction or initial incompatibility that could
reduce productivity.
