答案 1+1>2? Not Necessarily Teamwork possibly produces an overall greater productivity through the concept of "synergy". But the idea that people work more productively in teams rather than as individuals is going to vary greatly with regard to the types of teams that are organized, the end reward or motivation, as well as the individuals themselves. Regarding individuals, some people are born with the desire to succeed, no matter what the situation or task that they are facing. These people may evolve into the classic "Type A" personalities that work ferociously because they are driven by an internal fire that says they must always be doing something, whether individually or as part of a team. Other people may desire to be less socially involved or are very highly competitive with other people. For these people, their work is most productive as individuals, because the very idea of cooperating with other people limits their effectiveness and efficiency because they simply do not want to be a part of the team. Another variable is the end reward that is involved with the task at hand. Will the rewards be greater if the team works together towards a common goal, or are the rewards more geared toward individual performance? To the extent that the individual is motivated by the end reward, obviously his or her performance inside of a team may be more or less productive with respect to the entire team. Individual goals may interfere with the group performance. Synergies may not be achieved because the individuals are not working towards a whole "sum" but rather towards an individual reward. Finally, the degree of productivity of a person will depend upon the type of team that is organized. Is the group composed of equally contributing individuals? Does the group have an outstanding leader that can motivate both the individuals and the team as a whole? From a pure productivity standpoint, the presence or absence of a charismatic and exceptional leader can make all the difference whether a person would be more productive as a part of a team or as an individual. Fundamentally, whether a person is more productive alone or while working in concert with others is one of the great challenges that leaders and managers must face to accomplish tasks effectively and efficiently.
解析     人们对于怎样工作效率最高的问题往往争论不休，有些人认为“单打独斗”的工作方式最为高效，而更多人则倾向于认为只有通过团队合作才能最大化发挥个人价值，从而实现最优结果。因此，题目中有此一问：  “团队合作是否一定能够更大程度地激发个人的动力，取得最大效率”。关于这一问题，我们认为并不一定，原因在于团队合作并不见得能够做到1+1>2，还可能取决于个人特点、团队组织方式以及最终获益等因素。
