Question 3

Shared Knowledge and Skills

Answer 3

Teams bring people together from a diverse range of backgrounds and expertise. Team members can therefore greatly benefit from sharing ideas, skills and knowledge with one another. This can help individuals learn and develop more and improve their chance of promotion.

Question 4

Risk-Taking

When a team makes a decision no one person takes full responsibility for decisions. Teams are therefore more likely to try out new (and perhaps riskier) ideas that an individual employee may be reluctant to do. This will help them push themselves to try out ideas with the support of a team.
