I think that the basic problem of working in an organization is that we are both more and less effective when we work with others. We can't do everything alone, and we can't be an expert in everything that needs to be done. But at the same time, many people hate meetings and feel that often something is lost when you have to get a group to agree. You've heard the joke that a camel is a horse designed by a committee.
As an example, you have all probably done group projects in school or on the job. Often I hear that students hate them. What are the costs and benefits of group projects compared to individual work?
