Differences Between Team and Group
Differences Between Team and Group
Well, I just have 2 years plus of experience in the IT Industry and I am glad that I was able to observe the differences between the team and the group. I am now then to share some of their primary differences from grasped information from various sources.
• Team, by definition of the Merriam Webster dictionary is:
- a number of persons associated together in work or activity: such as a :
a. group on one side (as in football or a debate)
b. crew, gang

b. crew, gang
Whereas, the word group defines as two or more figures forming a complete unit in a composition went there as a group or a number of individuals assembled together or having some unifying relationship a study group.
I have read the book Tools for Teams: Building Effective Teams in the Workplace of Leigh Thompson et al., where he clearly differentiates and specifies the two words' differences:
2. Members are accountable to manager
3. Members do not have clear stable culture and conflict is frequent
4. Leadership assigned to single person
5. Members may accomplish their goals
There's a big chance as well that the group is a premature stage of the team while being managed by a boss.
2. Members are mutually accountable to one another
3. Members trust one another and team has collaborative culture
4. Members all share leadership
5. Members achieve synergy: 2+2 = 5
Team, on the other hand, creates additional advantages and impacts to the results the team are delivering, named as the synergy. Each member contributes to the goals and that for whatever the output is, everyone is accountable and that being managed by a leader.
Leigh Thompson, is indeed one of those inspiring authors for me and I truly admire and wish to have a perfect team in the future describable by those of his definitions, where the goal of that team doesn't only focus in reaching the corporate industries' objectives but the societies' as a whole.
