- Increased information and knowledge- By working in teams more experience and information can be put into the decision-making process.
- Increased diversity of views- Team members bring a variety of perspectives to the decision-making process.
- Increased acceptance of a solution- Those who participate in making a decision are more likely to support and encourage others to accept it.
- Higher performance levels- Working in teams can unleash new levels of creativity and energy in workers who share a sense of purpose and mutual accountability.
Disadvantages
- Groupthink- Occurs when peer pressures cause individual team members to withhold contrary or unpopular opinions.
- Hidden agendas- Private, counter-productive motives, such as a desire to take control of the group, undermine someone else on the team, or to pursue a business goal that runs counter to the team's mission.
- Cost- Aligning schedules, arranging meetings, and coordinating individual parts of a project can eat up a lot of time and money.
