4) ① Designing high performance team

6) Our myth about the collaboration is the “Unity
and Trust makes the collaboration”.
There is a saying about the collaboration ‘Many hands make light work.’ and the Chairman Mao in China had also said “much more people make more power’, believing in that the labor numbers are the excellent productivity, which would lead to the economy growth and society development. So in the 1950s, Mao had established the policy about inspiring the public to give more birth for new babies, which led to the human number increased dramatically. What’s more, there are a lot of stories about the importance and advantages for the number of members in the team making the team work. Furthermore, numbers also determines the time cost. Like the freight transport, there is no doubt that the same scale of goods will be delivered much faster by 10 workers than just 1 worker. Last but not least, numbers, in some extent, are the key of success. For example, in some competition, like Guinness, many world records are marked down by the numbers of people doing the specific activities. However, do the numbers of team members mean that it will offer the work efficiencies or collaboration?
Compared with quantity of a team, it seems that quality is more important in collaboration. The social psychologist John Darley and Bibb Latané demonstrated the concept of bystander effect that individuals would give more positive reactions when doing tasks independently than in a team. After a series of experiments, Darley and Latané contributed the bystander effect to the diffusion of responsibility and the influence of society. Just as “one boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no boy.”, members in a large team often follow the majorities or even do nothing according to their own interests and avoidance and unclear of responsibility. Furthermore, it not easy for a team, which pursuits to expand the number of members blindly, to make each member understands the vision of the team and makes balance between personal interests and common goals. What’s more, it would occupy higher operation cost to maintain a well-organized collaboration, especially in a team with surplus and unnecessary members.
