When  it's a fairly small team you know you have to contribute to the team and there's more investment in the team. However, when a team gets large each member's part shrinks and they can tend to get disinterested. But again, this really is really a function of the dynamics of the team and there are ways to effectively use large teams too (having a team lead with subteam works on specific task, or expanding the team's scope).<br> <br>-Jordan<br></div></div><br>
