Working as a team can bring extraordinary results. And so can an individual effort.

Let me challenge the status quo today. Here are the 9 reasons why group effort can fail to deliver.

1. Conflicts between team members
2. A lengthy discussion with limited outcome
3. The longer route to decisions
4. Can only be as good as the weakest team member
5. Meetings, more meetings!
6. Risk of decreased performance
7. Team structure can be complicated
8. Scheduling conflicts
9. Status quo of the group prevails (my personal favourite!)

Dare I say the list is not exhaustive.

Can you think of anything else worth adding?
