In the lecture, the professor contends that having a team of people for projects is not the best way. However, the author in the reading passage says that a group of people can make the projects better than individuals can. The professor in the listening does not believe that the writer's argument in the reading is accurate and attacks each of the claims made in the reading as follows.
To start, the lecturer in the lecture argues that there are free-riders who do not contribute much at all to the team project. He goes on to say that if there is someone who engages a lot inside the problem issue of the team project then only the person may try hard to solve the problem. This is because other people such as free-rides can get good recognition from the company when the projects make well even though the real contributor made efforts a lot for it. On the contrary, this is contradictory to the writer's argument that says participating in a group process can make members of the team feel rewarded because they can make a voice to decide important things and they can shine since overall outcomes of the team can be more accomplishing and influence more than individual who works alone.
On top of that, the professor in the listening claims that the teamwork process can take so long to consense and the team tends to make less creative solutions to problems and issues. He points out that there are so many meetings and so onto consensus for a team. The professor also points out that if a very influential member of the team opposes a specific idea which he does not think creative, the rest of the group would agree with this decision and the idea would be ignored. In contrast, the author in the article refutes this idea by saying that because a group of people have a greater range of expertise, knowledge, and skills than individuals and tend to make risky decisions, the team can work much faster in response to the assigned task and make more creative solutions to problems and issues.
