    A group is defined as a collection of two or more individuals who interact, share common goals, and see themselves as part of the group. Key aspects of a group include social interaction, stable relationships, common interests, and shared group identity. A team is a small number of people with complementary skills committed to a common purpose and performance goals. Teams hold members mutually accountable. Key aspects that differentiate teams from groups are their smaller size, specialized complementary skills, and strong commitment to goals and accountability.

    Group: A collection of two or more interacting

    individuals with a stable pattern of relationships


    among them, who share common goals and who
    perceive themselves as being a group.

    Essentials of a group
    1. Social interaction
    2. Stable structure
    3. Common interests
    4. Perceive themselves as part of group


    Team: A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are
    committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for
    which they hold themselves mutually accountable.
    This definition highlights the essentials of a team or in other words the team
    basics. Here the focus or emphasis is on three characteristics small number,
    complementary skills and commitment. These are what basically
    differentiates a team from a group and makes a team something much more
    productive and result oriented than a group. We shall analyze them:
    Small number five to ten people
    Complementary skills appropriate balance or mix of skills and traits
    Commitment to a common purpose and performance goals specific
    performance goals are an integral part of the purpose.
    Commitment to a common approach team members must agree on who
    will do a particular job & develop a common approach.
    Mutual accountability at its core, team accountability is about the sincere
    promises we make to others & ourselves commitment & trust.
    GROUP
    Strong, clearly focused.
    Individual accountability.

    The groups purpose is the same
    as the broader organizational
    mission.
    Individual work products.
    Runs efficient meetings.

    Measures performance
    indirectly by its influence on
    others.
    Discusses, decides, and
    delegates.
    TEAM
    Shared leadership roles.
    Individual and mutual
    accountability.
    Specific team purpose that the
    team delivers.

    Collective work products.

    discussions, active problem
    solving meetings.
    Measures its effectiveness direct
    by collective work products.
    Discusses, decides, & does real
    work together.
    Very often we use the word team work in our
    organizational context without perhaps fully
    understanding what we mean by team work. Team
    work is an abstract concept. It represents a set of
    values that:
    Encourages behaviours such as listening &
    responding to view points of others, giving
    benefit of doubt to others.
    Providing support to those who need it.
    Recognizing the interests & achievements of
    others.
    Also promote performance as individuals and the
    performance of the entire organization.
    Though a very large number of people believe in the argument for greater
    focus on teams, yet when it comes to using the team approach, the people
    are reluctant to rely on teams. Three primary sources for peoples reluctance
    about teams that stand out are:
    Lack of conviction: Some people do not believe that teams, really do
    perform better than individuals. Others think that teams are probably
    useful, from a human relations point of view, but are hindrance when it
    comes to work productivity and decisive action.
    Personal discomfort & risk: Many people fear or do not like to work in
    teams. Most peoples discomfort with teams, however is because they
    find the team approach; too time consuming, too uncertain or too risky.
    Weak performance ethics: Some organizations lack compelling purpose
    that would appeal rationally and emotionally to their people. At worst,
    the environment of internal politics or external public relationship
    undermines the mutual trust and openness upon which teams depend.

    Great people dont equal great teams. Tom Peters
