They had a “grass-roots approach to strategy making that drew on Intuit staffers from a variety of backgrounds, function and hierarchical positions” (Jick et al., 2003, p.8).

Some ideas can be accomplished by an individual alone, but usually bigger ideas need a team to see it through. Working in a team environment can have its drawbacks, but it also has many benefits. In this paper I am going to provide research to support the setbacks and benefits of both the individual environment and the team environment. I found that what an individual may lack is a team’s gain, vice versa. The important result is the success achieved by either a team, or an individual.
