About Team

T oday, I talk about T eams.

Team is a unit of two or more people who share a mission and the responsibility for working to achieve a common goal.

Of couse,everything have advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

-increased information and knowledge增强信息和知识。

By pooling the resources of several individuals, teams have access to more information in the decision-making process.由分享资源的几个个体、团队获得更多的信息在决策的过程。

-increased diversity of views多样性的观点。

Team members can bring a variety of perspectives to the decision-making process. Keep in mind, however, that unless these diverse view-points are guided by a shared goal, the multiple perspectives can actually hamper a team’s efforts.团队成员可以带来各种各样的透视决策的过程。但要记住,除非这些不同观点共同的目标指引下, 多角度实际上可以妨碍一个团队的努力.

-increased acceptance of a solution接纳，接受，赞同一个解决方法。

Those who participate in making a decision are more likely to support the decision enthusiastically and encourage others to accept it.那些参与决策的人更有可能支持和鼓励其他人去决定热情地接受它。

-higher performance levels更高的绩效水平（层次）。

Working in teams can unleash new amounts of creativity and energy in workers who share a sense of purpose and mutual accountability. Effective teams can be better than top-performing individuals at solving complex problems.在团队中工作的新量能解开创造力和活力在工人分享一种使命感和共同责任。高效的团队可以比公司解决复杂问题的个人。Furthermore, teams fill the individual worker’s need to belong to a group, reduce employee boredom, increase feelings of dignity and self-worth, and reduce stress and tension between workers.此外,团队充满个体劳动者需要属于一个团体,减少员工无聊,增加尊严和自我价值的感觉,并减少工人之间压力和紧张。

Disadvantages

-groupthink思想一致（想到一起去）。

Like all social structures, business teams can generate tremendous pressures to conform with accepted norms of behavior. Groupthink occurs when these peer pressures cause individual team members to withhold contrary or unpopular opinions. The result can be decisions that are worse than ones the team members might have made individually.像所有的社会结构、业务团队可以产生巨大的压力能符合规范的行为接受。当这些同侪压力团体迷失发生使个人或者

团队成员拒绝不受欢迎的意见相反。结果可能更糟的决定是这个团队的成员会有个别通知。

-hidden agendas隐藏的目的。

Some team members may have a hidden agenda-private, counter-productive motives, such as a desire to take control of the group or to undermine

someone else on the team.一些团队成员可能有一个潜在的议程私人、机械化的动机,比如一个愿望去控制小组或破坏别人的团队。

-free riders搭免费车的人，吃大锅饭。

Some team members may be free riders—those wh o don’t contribute their fair share to the group’s activities. Perhaps these members aren’t being held individually accountable for their work. Or per haps they don’t believe they’ll receive adequate recognition for their individual efforts.一些团队成员可以免费搭车,那些不公平的份额贡献自己组织的活动。也许这些成员不被关押单独负责他们的工作。或者他们不相信他们会获得充足的认识他们的个人的努力。

-cost花费（费用大）。

Still another drawback to teamwork is the high cost of coordinating group activities. Aligning schedules, arranging meetings, and coordinating individual parts of a project can eat up a lot of time and money.还有一个缺点是高成本的团队协调小组活动。调整计划,安排会议和协调项目的各部分会浪费大量的时间和金钱。
