All groups and organizations should function as teams in which everyone makes decisions and shares responsibilities and duties. Giving one person central authority and responsibility for a project or task is not an effective way to get work done.
Whether all groups and organizations should function as teams in which everyone has the authority to make decisions and share responsibilities and duties or giving one person the central authority for a project or task is an effective way to get work done depends on a variety of factors. In my view, there should be a central authority that should have powers that are more than the others in the team. In this discussion, I shall present my observations and examples that support my point of view.
The central problem with speaker's point of view is that it ignores that fact if everybody in the team will have equal powers, then who would be able to resolve day to day conflicts that happen in the work environment. The role of central authority is extremely important in resolving such conflicts. There is no doubt that team work is an ingredient to success but the speaker's idea of a team work runs contrary to the common sense, because the speaker thinks giving equal powers will be an effective way to get the work done.
Another problem with the speaker's point of view is that it neglects the role of a leader in team bonding and success. A good team is where there is one leader and many followers. There is no doubt that leader cannot do all the tasks on his own, and a leader needs help and collaboration from his followers. But it would be unwise to think of a team where everyone has the powers to become a leader. The main problem with such a team would be that there will less respect among team members, and there will not be a central figure to guide them. Also such a team could have ego clashes because everybody will want his decision to be accepted over others.
In sum, I agree that sometimes a central figure might have more powers and that figure could take decisions that may not favour majority of his team members. Still I think having a central authority in a team is much effective than giving everybody equal powers to make decisions. Teams that do not have a central authority could have lot of ego clashes and conflicts.

other than that do you find any problem with the language?
