When the book went over the four characteristics of roles that can create problems and stated that greater access to resources is a potential problem maker for a role is took me by surprise. All of the other characteristics seem obvious, increased status/sense of importance, greater sense of involvement, and more direction/ control over others. More information in other situations would make aspects of the project easier because you have a bigger pool of information to draw from. I had to think differently in order to see how more information to sort through could make things more difficult or impossible if you really have that much information. This reminds me of those commercials for Bing, where the company says that search engines like Google are not as convenient because they give you too much information and much information that you do not want, information overload.
