ABSTRACT
The second and more enduring reason is that the world is extremely complex, and only a team structure can respond to social needs in this uncertain environment. Individuals do not know enough to develop good solutions to wicked problems on their own. Teams are needed. Large bureaucratic organizations are too rigid, too slow, and too costly to respond effectively in today’s environment. Teams are a sensible and ef—cient compromise between the limitations of individuals and the inef— ciency of large organizations. They make sense (Yoe and Orth 1996).
