Although it can totally make sense when employees and workers of a business organisation team up to achieve business goals and objectives. And one of the positive and effective benefits of organisational teamwork is that, business goals and objectives are more likely to be achieved more faster and more efficiently as a result of fusion of minds, ideas, opinions, and suggestions during the teamwork process. However, as we always say anything with an advantage must have a disadvantage. So it can be possible for team work or collaboration in a business organisation to have its disadvantages. I have done my research and some of them include:

* Laziness might set in: laziness is absolutely the result of sluggishness in a business organisation, and that can definitely emanate from teamwork and team collaboration in a business organisation. For example a team of 10 to 20 employees can definitely encourage laziness, as some of the team members may just sit while others are working, with the mindset that those working can effectively handle matters that may arise. That is why team collaboration in a business organisation should only constitute 5 employees and nothing more.

* Personality clashes: conflict can definitely arise when employees work together to achieve business goals and objectives. Some employees believe that they know best as a result of their pride and presumptuous attitudes or personalities. However this can lead to long-term conflict, hatred and bullying etc.

* Blame and responsibility issues: it is totally true for responsibility issues and blame to arise when employees form a team, in the sense that damages of assets and gadgets used in the goals and achievement processes cannot easily be traced to who might have damaged it, as no employee or worker would want to take the blame or responsibility in replacing the damaged assets or gadget.
