Group Presentations bring together the individual abilities of many people, but when it comes to choosing a topic, too many cooks can spoil the broth. What I mean is that it is nearly impossible to choose a topic that all group members are going to support. This is when teamwork comes to play, and members of the team make concessions for the betterment of the group. Once these concessions are made, that individual group member must work with one mission, to be a knowledgeable expert on that topic and a team player in assuring a successful presentation.

Teamwork and making concessions for the team isn't always the best way to do things. Making concessions should be a last resort. In fact, using concessions at the begining can be downright detrimental and hinder the team. Teams need to work at findign topics that people can agree on. Doing so successfully can bring the team closer and improve the quality of the product.
